    Shimane Pref. Matsueshi Yatsukachouhanyu 1260-2
    The largest Japanese garden surrounding a pond in the San’in region, which opened in 1975, is located on Daikonshima Island in a lake called Nakaumi (Middle Sea) in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. It is an idyllic garden of a simple and subdued refinement with its black pine, a waterfall, and Yukimi (snow viewing) lanterns in the center of the pond. It is famous for its peony and other seasonal flowers. In addition to the interior garden Peony Hall, where you can appreciate peony throughout the year, a Spring Peony Festival is held from late April to mid-May when about 20,000 trees of 250 species of peony color the garden. There are also places to eat and shops available. Goods using the special product Ginseng are popular.

    Shimane Prefecture Matsue City Yatsukacho-Sakaiminato City Tomachi
    "A 10-minute drive from JR Sakaiminato Station or 45 minutes from the Yonago Interchange on the Yonago Expressway. The longest prestressed concrete rigid-frame bridge in Japan, it spans Nakaumi Lake, connecting Yatsuka-cho, Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture with Watari-cho, Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture. The bridge's highest point is 45 meters above the water of the lake in order to allow the passage of 1,446.2 meter-long, 5,000-ton ships underneath. Featured in a television commercial for a car because of its steep slope on one side, it has also come to be known as ""pedal to the metal hill"" due to a line from that commercial. Located on the Matsue City side, the actual grade of the slope is just 6.1%, but the commercial's shooting angles and methods made it look almost like a vertically rising wall."

    Shimane Yasugi-shi Kiyoicho 281
    A Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple that is counted among of the oldest Zen temples in the Izumo region. It was founded in 1322 by the priest Koho Kakumyo who had earned the trust of Emperor Godaigo and Emperor Gomurakami. The precious large shikyakumon four-pillared gate at the end of the pine tree lined approach dates from the 1300s and escaped fires, helping it survive to the present day. The precincts are also home to one of the prefecture's few Korean bells. The temple is also a popular spot for viewing azaleas; the site of hundreds of them blooming together is superb.

    清水寺に行く途中で立ち寄りました。駐車場がやや貧弱でしたが、手書きの案内に従って進むと素晴らしい楼門や庭園がありました。本堂も予想以上に立派でした。中国観音霊場なので観音様の像もありました。社務所で御朱印をいただくことができました。

    Shimane Pref. Matsueshi Kitahorichou Around
    A 500 meter long street where the former residences of mid-ranking Edo period samurai stand located along the moat on the north side of Matsue Castle in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. The street is a Matsue City Designated Traditional Beautiful Sight District. The area retains the most remnants of the city’s castle town history, including the former residence of Koizumi Yakumo (Lafcadio Hearn), the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum, an old retreat once used by the seventh lord of Matsue Domain, and former samurai residences open to the general public. There are also magnificent old pine trees lining the street which are believed to have been growing here since the Edo period.

    Shimane Matsue-shi Yakumocho

    行くまでの道がとても狭く不安もありますが、山頂から見える景色は最高です。 出雲から米子まで見渡せる感じでしょうか。自分が行った日は空気も澄んでいて、島根半島の向こうに隠岐の島ままでくっきり見えていました。今まで見た隠岐の島の中で一番の見え方でとても感動しました。 登山道もあるので、登山も頂上の景色が良いので楽しめます。 スターパークはバンガローもあり、泊まってみたい気持ちになりました。 名前の通り...

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.
