－Product introduction－

• Izumo Taisha Shrine

Izumo Taisha Shrine has a profound historical tradition. It is generally considered to be the gathering place of all Japanese gods. It enshrines the god of marriage, Okuninushigami, who not only allows people to form relationships, but also establishes relationships between all living creatures, and allows for symbiotic and mutual prosperity. Izumo Taisha Shrine is also home to Japan's largest rope chain, which is 13.5 meters long and weighs 4.5 tons.

• Uno's Chinu
  

Works from the first "Setouchi International Art Festival 2010". Created from floating debris collected from the coast around Uno Port and mainly Lake Kojima. Garbage that has traveled across the ocean and arrived in the Seto Inland Sea from all over the world is now on display in Uno Port in a new form as art.

• Jiangdao Bridge
  

Since its construction was completed in 2004, Eshima Bridge has become a tourist attraction in its own right. The bridge spans Nakako between Sakaiminato City in Tottori Prefecture and Matsue City in Shimane Prefecture, with a total length of 1.7 kilometers. The bridge is extremely steep when viewed from the Shimane side. But in fact, the slope of the bridge at the Shimane Prefecture end is 6.1%, and the slope at the Tottori Prefecture end is 5.1%. This bridge is the largest steel frame bridge in Japan and the third largest steel frame bridge in the world.
