The Ikumi Ginzan Kaido Onsenzu-Okidomari-michi, a historically significant road leading to the silver mines, still charms visitors with its preserved stone-paved path.

Overview

The Ikumi Ginzan Kaido Onsenzu-Okidomari-michi was a crucial route leading to the Ikumi Ginzan silver mine, which flourished in the early Edo period as Japan's most productive silver mine. Onsenzu, which developed as a hot spring town for silver miners, still retains the atmosphere of that era, with its stone-paved streets and charming hot spring town ambiance. The road to the silver mine was reportedly paved with stone, wide enough for the bustling flow of people and goods. While only sections of the stone-paved road remain today, you can still imagine the lively atmosphere of the time. Onsenzu's hot spring town preserves its traditional charm, lined with hot spring inns and restaurants. Enjoying delicious food while soaking in an onsen is highly recommended. The Ikumi Ginzan Kaido Onsenzu-Okidomari-michi is a tourist spot where you can experience history, culture, onsen, and gourmet delights. Be sure to visit!
