Stroll through the white-walled streets

Kamishimo and Jo once flourished as relay points on the Ginzan Kaido road, which transported silver from the Omori (Iwami) silver mine, and were once territorial land under direct control of the shogunate, where the magistrate's office was located. Even today, the shopping district is lined with storehouses and townhouses that recall the grandeur of the past, and the historical scenery of white walls, namako walls, and lattice windows makes it a romantic street. Come and experience the white-walled streets that still retain the image of Kamishimo, where the Edo shogunate's magistrate's office was located and where the financial industry later flourished.
