    Shimane Matsue-shi Tamayucho Tamatsukuri 85-8
    This historic park is located at the foot of 200-meter high Mt. Kasen. Pit-type dwellings, cone-shaped shelters, and pedestals indicating the location of workshops are scattered throughout the vast site of about 2.8 hectares. The entire area of Tamatsukuri Onsen has been actively used for making beads such as magatama and tube beads since ancient times. It is said that there were once nearly 50 bead-making villages in the Miyagaki area. In an excavation survey conducted in 1969, tens of thousands of relics were found, such as other rough stones, unfinished beads, whetstones and iron drills for making holes in bead-making workshops. It is also a recreation area with a children's area and tennis court, and it is filled with many families on holidays.

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.
