Iwami Ginzan silver mine
Iwami Ginzan silver mine submitted by Aska : Site in Honshū Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
A UNESCO World Heritage. Discovered in early 14th century and closed in 1948, once produced 1/3 of global output. The reconstructed administrator’s house (代官所) has a dry landscape garden.

Like Newgrange, you have to park your car at the visitor centre and take a bus (not free of charge!) to the mining village.
Open 8:30-17:30, closed on the last Tuesday of the month and the days around the New Years Day, foreigner admission 300 Japanese Yen (2024 price, passport required).
