Omori is a town nestled in-between the low ranging mountains of Shimane with beautiful scenery. Since its natural beauty is very well preserved together with the history of being one of the most active silver mines in the past, Omori was given a World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2011. This small traditional town has a lot of historical value and a place where guests can enjoy the blending of nature, history, together with the warm interactions of the locals. Omori is a hidden gem in Japan. Absolutely worth to visit.
