The site includes the extensive underground mines, fortresses, transportation routes, and port towns that collectively illustrate the entire process of silver production and distribution during Japan's feudal period. The mining complex demonstrates the sophisticated technology and mining systems developed in Japan at the time, while the surrounding cultural landscape showcases the unique social and economic structures that supported the mining industry. The site's history is intertwined with the global trade of silver, which played a crucial role in the economic and cultural exchange between East and West. Today, the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape face challenges posed by climate change, such as increased rainfall and landslides, which threaten the integrity of the mines and the surrounding landscape. Digital interpretation can help raise awareness about the importance of preserving this unique industrial heritage and promote sustainable tourism practices, contributing to SDG 8.9, which focuses on promoting sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products.
