    Shimane Pref. Odashi Yunotsuchouyunotsu 7
    A café in Ohda City, Shimane Prefecture operating out of a remodeled building which once belonged to Yakushiyu, the oldest hot spring bathhouse still in existence in the Yunotsu Onsen hot spring district. The stately wood building was constructed in 1919 and is notable for its Western-style design, including beautiful stained glass windows in its white walls, as well as the graceful arches under its eaves. The café makes use of the former men’s changing area and has an old-fashioned atmosphere highly reminiscent of Japan’s Taisho Roman style. The café offers food such as homemade Japanese-style curry and “Edo period bugyomeshi,” a dish whose recipe was once handed down among the Naito family, whose members served as village headsmen in the area for generations. The café’s onsen cappuccinos, decorated with Japan’s hot spring mark, are also popular.

    薬師湯の隣にできたカフェレストランで昔の震湯の建物を利用しているのでレトロ感満載。温泉津の奉行飯という和風な食事とカレーからシフォンケーキなどカフェメニューが充実していて、食事処が少なくなった温泉津では貴重な存在。営業時間は朝11時からで夜の営業はないので、夜飲みたい人には温泉街にある「路庵」がお薦め。

Amaemon’s shaved ice kakigori covered in syrup is also a popular choice in the hot summer months. The nearest station is Izumotaisha-mae Station.

    Walking at Taisha under summer heat is tough. Then, just in front of Torii, this shop is waiting for you. Izumo started many things. Zenzai is one of them. Sweet red bean source with white rice...

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan's oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
