Tsuwano, located in the westernmost part of Shimane Prefecture, is a small castle town that prides itself on traditional arts, crafts, and literature.

Today, pleasure boats cruise through Matsue’s waterways. The Matsue Castle has the only remaining castle tower in the San-in Region (on the Sea of Japan). There is a view spot in the castle tower that commands a view of the Lake Shinji and Mt. Oyama.

Le grand sanctuaire d’Izumo Taisha est considéré comme le 2e plus important sanctuaire au Japon après celui d’Ise. Le symbole de ce sanctuaire Shimenawa est impressionnant.
