Matsue Suigosai FireworksFestival (松江水郷祭湖上花火大会)
The largest fireworks festival in western Japan takes place at Lake Shinji. The huge variety of fireworks is perfect for the amazing natural surroundings, and elaborate starmines, shakudama (12 inch shells), angled volleys, and aquatic fireworks splash the summer night sky and lake surface with vibrant color. There are few obstacles around the grounds, and visitors can watch from an extensive area including Shirakata Park, Chidori Minami Park, Suetsugu Park, and Lake Shinji Ohashi Bridge. Close to the launch area, Shirakata Park offers paid seating (reservations required).

Shimane Areas
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.
