23 hours ago · The capital of Shimane Prefecture, in western Japan, is Matsue, which is located between Lake Shinji and Lake Nakaumi with access to the Sea of Japan and the Ohashi River. It is therefore rightly nicknamed the City of Water, yet Matsue’s appeal doesn’t end there. The 400-year-old Matsue Castle overlooks the city, and the Izumo Taisha, a venerable, important Shinto shrine, is readily ...

Matsue, regarded as a central hub of Shimane Prefecture, is a city bordering the Sea of Japan as well as two large lakes, Lakes Shinji and Nakaumi. Because of these bodies of water and the canals that run through the city, Matsue is sometimes called the "The City of Water". The symbol of the city is Matsue Castle, which was built by the daimyo Hori...
The old-time castle town remains standing to this day at the periphery of the Matsue Castle moat. Walk down the street lined with ancient pines, and as you gaze at the old samurai residences, you will feel as if you've stepped back in time. Along with Kyoto and Kanazawa, Matsue is known as one of Japan's three great centers for wagashi (Japanese co...
The Adachi Museum of Art was founded by Zenko Adachi in 1970. Fascinated by nihonga (Japanese-style paintings), Adachi wanted to create a special space where the beauty of nature could be experienced in a Japanese garden throughout the seasons, enhancing the appreciation of nihonga in the works of artists such as Yokoyama Taikan. The museum grounds...
The people of Shimane Prefecture today are surrounded by myths and history from ancient Japan. Of the myths compiled in the "Kojiki," Japan's oldest history record from the early eighth century, about one-third take place in the Izumo region of Shimane Prefecture. The Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine appears in these myths and is one of the oldest and bes...
Located in the center of Shimane Prefecture, the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine flourished in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as the largest source of silver in Japan. Refining silver required a large amount of wood or charcoal for fuel, and we can see today how eco-conscious the silver industry was when procuring that fuel. As a result of this c...
Many of the structures and cultural properties of Omori still remain as they were during the heyday of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. Take a stroll and enjoy the old-time atmosphere of this town. One of the interesting features of Omori is how samurai residences and merchant homes coexist. The abundance of financial resources available during those ...
Kagura originated as a Japanese Shinto ritual in which people gathered and worshipped the Shinto gods through sacred dance and music. This dancing remains a deeply embedded part of local culture and is a popular form of folk art performed at events such as harvest festivals. Iwami Kagura is characterized by storylines that are easy to follow, a fas...
Four large inhabited islands and some 180 smaller islands compose the Oki archipelago, located in the Sea of Japan between 40 and 80 kilometers to the north of the Shimane Peninsula. The land of the Oki Islands has developed through a series of stages: once part of the Eurasian Continent, it then sunk to the bottom of the deep sea, and later resurf...
