    Shimane Matsue-shi Yamashirocho 470-1
    "Measuring 94 meters long, it is the largest rectangular-shaped kofun ancient tomb in the prefecture. Part of it was removed when a former Army infantry was set up, but it is now been restored. It is famous for being the first tomb to be called a ""rectangular-shaped kofun"" in Japan in 1925. The two-level tomb is surrounded by a moat and dike. There is an observation room in the rear where you can see the real embankment, and you can see that a high level of skill was used to make the tomb. It is thought that the burial chief of the eastern part of Izumo is buried in the tomb because cylindrical haniwa clay images and Sue pottery were excavated from the foot of the mound and the surrounding moat."

    山代二子塚古墳のガイダンス施設ですので、見学をする観光地としても人気があります。石室の実物大模型があったり、古墳に関する解説パネルが設置されてますので、学校などの子供の教育の観光地としても有名です。入場料が無料となってますし、大型のバスが止められる駐車場もあります。古代の見物を実際に見ることが出来るので、とても勉強になります。

    Shimane Matsue-shi Kashimacho Myobun 1355-4
    This museum opened in 1987 as a base for promoting regional culture. It preserves and exhibits materials and excavated artifacts to tell the story of Kashima's ancient history. The cross-section of the stripped shell layer of the largest Jomon shell mound in the San'in region, the Sada Kobu shell mound, is a sight to behold. The museum also houses many buried cultural properties such as the ruins of the Koura Sand Dunes, known as a mass grave from the early Yayoi period (300 BC-300 AD), and artifacts from the Horibe I Site, a prefectural historic site. There is also video of the Sada Shinno, registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, allowing anyone to easily experience traditional culture and local history.

    弥生時代前期には出雲の海の玄関口として、朝鮮半島との交流があったそうです。朝鮮半島の土器など、海を通じた交流にかかわる資料が展示してありました。この地方の、古代の歴史について知ることができました。

    Shimane Yasugi-shi Hirosecho Machicho 775-1
    A museum that's part of Roadside Station Hirose Tomita Castle. With its many looms, the museum passes on Hirose-cho, Yasugi City's traditional weaving and dyeing craft to the present day. Known as Hirose Gasuri, the weaving tradition was developed in 1824. The fabric features large patterns combining motifs and geometric designs. With a simple, natural feel made with indigo dye, it's carefully woven to make it extremely sturdy. Hirose Gasuri is one of the San'in region's leading kasuri fabrics, along with the Yumigahama area's Yumihama gasuri and Kurayoshi City's Kurayoshi gasuri. It's also been designated a Prefectural Intangible Cultural Property. Indigo dyeing workshops are available with advance reservation.

    Shimane Yasugi-shi

    月山富田城の麓、道の駅に隣接しています。一階は無料で月山富田城のジオラマが展示されており、とても精巧に作られているので登城前後に見ると理解が深まります。二階は有料ですが全体的にこじんまりとしており展示品も少なめでやや物足りなかったです。

    Shimane Matsue-shi Kashimacho Sadahongo 2955

    休日松江に用事があって行った際、数時間空白の時間が出来たので足を運びました。私達が訪問した日は、晴天で景色がとても美しくて、隠岐の島も見えました。 館内の展示物は、特に面白くはありませんが、小さな子供たちが熱心に眺めていました。

    Shimane Pref. Matsueshi Mihonosekichoumihonoseki 530

    拝観料を払うことで、重要文化財を間近で拝むことができます。 他の客もいなかったので、贅沢な時間を過ごすことができました。 仏像の後ろに回って見ることもできます。 お寺の方が大変丁寧に対応をしてくださいました。 「吉三地蔵(吉三は八百屋お七の恋人)」「大日堂の跡」「三火薬師如来」の説明をして下さり、大変ありがたかったです。

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.
