    "A gallery and studio located on Honmachi-dori, the main street in Tsuwano. ""Kunst"" refers to art, and ""Hof"" refers to plaza or garden; it's an attempt to use German to create a ""place where friends will gather."" It is operated by Yume Kiln's artist Atsuko Nakao and Akira Nakao, active in the Berlin painting scene. Items like their paintings and small handmade plates are on display and available for purchase. They also offer pottery workshops where you knead the clay yourself, giving visitors the chance to create the work they've conceived while receiving careful instruction (reservations required)."

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.
