    Shimane Matsue-shi Obacho 1614
    "This experiential facility was set up to contribute to improving civic culture. You will be able to experience the folklore and folk culture deeply related to the history of the Izumo region, as well as traditional crafts that are rarely seen today. The park consists of a folk tale center, craft center and a natural forest that makes the most of the surrounding local forest, allowing visitors to reaffirm the splendor of Izumo at each facility. In the folk tale center, which is a reproduction of an old private house, the latest video technology is used to screen ""Hoichi the Earless"" by the great writer of the Meiji period (1868-1912), Yakumo Koizumi. In the adjoining craft hall, you can enjoy five kinds of experiences such as weaving, rattan craft, pottery, woodwork and Japanese papermaking."

    この神戸の里は、体験を楽しめるスポットです。風土記の丘に隣接していて、民話を聴ける民話館や、工芸館では、機織りや、陶芸、和紙てまりなどを作る体験ができます。散策を楽しめる自然の森もありますが、訪れたときは、雨だったので、散策は行きませんでした。

Shimane Areas

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.
