Iinan

Iinan combines the quiet scale of a rural Japanese town with demanding winter conditions, reflecting its upland position in the Chūgoku Mountains of Shimane Prefecture. Forested ridges and cultivated valley floors define this municipality in the interior of western Honshu, well away from the Sea of Japan coast. Present-day Iinan was created in 2005 through the merger of the towns of Akagi and Tonbara, a history still reflected in its dispersed settlements. Part of Ōchi District, it presents a different side of Shimane from the coastal areas associated with Izumo and Matsue.
