A community center in Ohnan Town created by repurposing a closed elementary school building.

It is an ideal spot for travelers seeking the "original scenery of Japan" and a sense of belonging in a peaceful mountain village.

An area in Yoshida-cho, Unnan City, lined with massive storehouses of the Tanabe family, who once prospered through "Tatara Ironmaking."

The sight of this industrial heritage still being protected by the local people is spectacular. A fascinating spot to explore the deep history of Okuizumo and its unique culture.
