Okuizumo, Mountain town in Nita district, Japan
Okuizumo extends across 368 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in northeastern Shimane Prefecture, with Mount Sarumasa rising 1,267 meters above sea level.
The town emerged on March 31, 2005, through the consolidation of Nita and Yokota towns, following centuries of significance as a steel production center.
The Okuizumo Sword and Tatara Museum presents demonstrations of traditional Japanese sword crafting techniques using locally produced tamahagane steel.
