Kyuan

Ohda
Store

Iwami Ginzan is a UN World Heritage site in the mountains of Shimane, Japan. During the sixteenth century, it was one of the largest silver mines in Japan, and one third of all the silver in circulation at that time was said to have come from this mine.

I found a nice variety store on the main street in Iwamiginzan. It’s called ‘Kyuan’ (鳩庵). They sell clothes, scarves, cell phone charms and some kind of accessories made of silver.

The best part of this store is that many of those items are handmade. So, the clothes are soft and comfortable. If you go there, you can get many kinds of tiny candy boxes. They are not real candies, but really small accessories. Those are my favorite and so cute!!

I think this store is a little difficult to find. Please use this map from Google Maps. And look for this sign on the right.
