    "An art museum designed with an image of ""a ship of creation and beauty floating on the Sea of Japan"" in mind. In addition to various feature exhibits devised to facilitate both ""seeing and creating,"" the Museum School helps them enjoy watching and creating all day long. The museum is located at the Umi no Mieru Culture Park overlooking Hamada Port and was established in 1996 for the children who will become the leaders of the next generation. They seek to cultivate creativity and artistic sensibilities by having children interact with art from an early age."

    "This Japanese giant salamander museum is located an approximately 20-minute drive from the Oasa Interchange on the Hamada Expressway. It is also called ""hanzake"" in Shimane Prefecture and more commonly ""living fossils,"" the museum has a Japanese giant salamander breeding exhibit. Besides the large water tank where they are bred that is about five meters wide and reproduces the river in Onan-cho, there is a corner there you can learn about the behavior of the giant salamander by experiencing their smell and other things. In addition, it is also a facility where you can learn about the rich nature of Onan-cho. In addition, they also sell cute souvenirs of Japanese giant salamander figurines."

    島根県ではオオサンショウウオのことを「ハンザケ」と呼んでいるそうです。今年9月に生まれたばかりの赤ちゃんから、30年前に動物園から譲り受けたお父さんまで、「3千万年前の化石と今の姿がほとんど変わっていない世界最大の両生類」を見ることができました。

    Shimane Hamada Tonomachi 123-10
    A five-minute drive from the Hamada Interchange on the Hamada Expressway and a 20-minute walk from JR Hamada Station. The ruins of Hamada Castle stand on a small, 70-meter-high hill. During the approximate 250 year span from when it was constructed in the early Edo period until it fell during a battle with the forces of Choshu Domain, the castle served as the main stronghold for the Hamada Domain government. Today, the stone base and walls of the castle still remain, and a park has been built around them. This park is also a popular cherry blossom viewing destination in spring. The site has been designated a Cultural Property by Shimane Prefecture and was also selected as Continued series of Japan's Top 100 Castles in 2017.

    Shimane Hamada Kushirocho 1655-28
    This museum stands on the border between Hamada City and Gotsu City. The white-walled building holds a collection of ancient art like swords and pottery centered on pieces from the Iwami region. A single-story steel reinforced concrete building standing amidst white sand and green pines, it was registered as the prefecture's third museum in 1979 in accordance with the Museum Act. To this day, it stands as a hall of arts in Iwami in both name and fact. It offers clear introductions to the cultural history of the Iwami region, including ancient art, folk crafts, and more. Their collection of Iwami Nagahama dolls has a reputation for its number and is particularly impressive.

    安達啓二氏のコレクションを中心にして５世紀ころからの石見地方の出土品である刀剣、陶磁器などを展示しています。石見地方の古美術、民芸など長浜人形を見られます。これは博多人形の技法を使っているそうです。福岡に住む自分には興味深いものでした。

  • Iwami Kokubunji Temple Ruins

    Shimane Hamada Kokubucho 1527
    This is one of the provincial monasteries and provincial nunneries built all over Japan by decree of the Emperor Shomu in the Nara period. Part of the remains was excavated as part of a past survey, and now experts believe that a roughly eight meters square tower built over the podium, about 12 meters from the nature-shrouded brick area. It is now part of the grounds of Jodoshinshu Konzoji temple, and only part of the tower and foundation stones remain, so the original figure is unclear. The excavated roof tiles and pots demonstrate that this area was once the center of the Iwami state, as the location of the domain's government.

    石本正が、最後までアトリエで大切にしていた1万枚を超える未公開の素描の中から厳選された作品は、素晴らしかったです。 なかなか、こだわりのある美術館だと感じました。

    浜田城資料館の駐車場から浜田城本丸跡に向かって登城している途中に、濱田護國神社がありました。浜田城資料館が展示品入れ替えのため臨時休館していて、続日本100名城スタンプを貰うことができなかったので、濱田護國神社の社務所で貰いました。無礼かもしれませんが、ご神体がトトロのように見えてしまい、ほっこりしました。

    Shimane Hamada Ubuyucho

    訪れると、最初に目を奪われるのが山門のかたわらにそびえる大クスだ。近づくと空を覆うような枝振りで、市の指定文化財だという。真言宗のお寺で、中国観音霊場の札所だ。いいたたずまいのお寺で、参拝すると清々しい気持ちになれる。珍しい流木仏を約６０体所蔵しているが、この日は見ることができなかった。

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.
