Sahimeyama Shrine

A quaint moss staircase

Original Text

It is a shrine that enshrines the guardian deity of the mine near Ryugenji Maho. If you climb about 50 steps up the steep stairs with moss, you will find a small shrine. It was good that the shrine blends naturally and has a taste. Be careful when you get down from the climb.

You need courage to get up.

A shrine with a solemn atmosphere

Original Text

It is a short walk from the Ryugenji Maho exit of Iwami Ginzan. If you go up the steep stone steps, you will find the main shrine where you can feel the history. It seems that there is nothing special for tourists, but on the contrary, I feel that the empty part makes this shrine attractive.
