Unnan, Riverside city in Shimane Prefecture, Japan

Unnan stretches across 553 square kilometers of land, encompassing forests, rivers, and waterfalls in the western region of Shimane Prefecture.

The establishment of Unnan occurred on November 1, 2004, through the merger of six municipalities: Daito, Kamo, Kisuki, Mitoya, Kakeya, and Yoshida.

The ancient tale of Yamata-no-Orochi from Izumo Mythology marks Unnan as a place of traditional Japanese folklore and storytelling.

The Kisuki railway line connects travelers to Unnan, while National Routes 54 and 314 provide road access throughout the Shimane region.

The Hii River banks feature over 800 Somei Yoshino cherry trees, creating a 2-kilometer natural tunnel during spring blooming season.
