Iwami Silver Mine produced approximately one third of total silver amount in Japan in the late sixteenth century and the beginning of the seventeenth century.
The Omori Magistrate's Office was located approximately four kilometers north from the mining galleries of Iwami Silver Mine. Omori Historical District is located between the magistrate's office and the mining galleries.
From KUMAGAI Residence, Omori Historical District continues to the south.
The historical building with white walls covered by plaster paste is "TAGI" Residence.
"TAGI" Residence used to be a Japanese style hotel, where government officials and village people stayed for their official purposes.
If you walk further to the south, you will see Kanzeonji Temple on a small hill.
There is no record when Kanzeonji Temple was built.
It is said the temple was built in the middle age (the fifteenth or sixteenth century).
From Kanzeonji Temple, you will cross over the Ginzan River and will walk along Omori Historical District.
The historical district further continues along the street more than one kilometer from Omori Magistrate's Office.
The below building with white walls used to be a Japanese style hotel.
Some of these historical buildings used to be houses which were owned by a officer of the Omori Magistrate's Office.
Some of them were commoners houses and some were tradespeople houses and their shops.
Rakanji Temple is located between Omori Historical District and Iwami Silver Mine.
The temple construction started in the middle of eighteenth century.
Rakanji Temple was built to pray for the families of those who lost their lives at Iwami Silver Mine, by installing five hundred of "Rakan" Statues.
Five hundreds of Rakan Statues are located in stone caves across a small river from the temple.
