P166 - Japan - The town of Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine


The town of Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, Ōda, Shimane Prefecture, on the island of Honshū, Japan (UNESCO WHS)




The Iwami Ginzan (石見銀山 ,Iwami Ginzan) was a silver mine in the city of Ōda, Shimane Prefecture, on the island of Honshū, Japan.It was added to the World Heritage List in 2007.

Parts of the mining town remain in good condition and the Japanese Government has designated it as a Special Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. The government also applied for it to become a World Heritage Site. The bid succeeded in July 2007, although an evaluation of the site by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOSMOS) produced no findings of "outstanding universal value."


石見銀山(いわみぎんざん)是日本戰國時代后期,江戶時代前期日本最大的銀礦山。礦脈位于石見國東部,現島根縣大田市大森之地中心位置。在1969年(昭和44年)時成為日本國指定史跡。2007年(平成19年)被聯合國教科文組織列入世界文化遺產名綠。
