    Shimane Kanoashi-gun Tsuwanocho Mori Mura Ro 127
    A cultural facility established in 1921 at a time when it was the only local history museum in the prefecture. It houses and exhibits a wealth of historical materials ranging from the ancient Jomon period to the present. Originally it was in the Hanko Yorokan's book storehouse but moved to its current location in 1940 as part of a project marking the legendary founding of Japan. The museum houses the rich historical and cultural heritage of the region, including items related to Tsuwano Castle, which was occupied in turn by the Yoshimi, Sakazaki, and Kamei clans. It has displays lots of items worth seeing like materials on Hanko Yorokan, the Tsuwano domain school responsible for training, and a 400-year-old breech-loading swivel cannon, one of only nine remaining in Japan.

    Shimane Kanoashi-gun Tsuwanocho Nakaza Ro 34
    A museum adjacent to the Zaima Sakaba brewery founded in 1791. Located in Tsuwano, also known as San'in's Little Kyoto, it displays sake making tools and equipment dating from the Edo to the early Showa periods. These include a cauldron for steaming sake rice and a stone trough for pressing the sake from its mash. With its water ways stretching throughout the town, Tsuwano has had abundant pure water resources since the days of old. The museum presents a sake flavor and tradition that has been kept alive for more than 200 years to the present day. It's about eight minutes by car from Tsuwano Station. Look for the large ball of cedar twigs hanging from the eaves.

    Shimane Pref. Kanoashiguntsuwanochou Ushiroda Russia 253

    津和野の本町通りの外れの方にありました。津和野駅からは徒歩の範囲に入ると思いますが、なぜこの場所なのかなと思いました。津和野の季節ごとの景色、食べ物、行事などが展示されていました。スタッフが丁寧に説明してこれたので、最初にここに来た方が便利だったかなと思いました。トイレも利用できました。

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.
