With its fine castle and crowd-pleasing sunsets over Shinji-ko (Lake Shinji), Matsue is an appealing city with some interesting historical attractions. The city straddles the Ōhashi-gawa, which connects Shinji-ko with Nakanoumi, a saline lake. Most of the main attractions are in a compact area in the north, where you'll find the castle – a rare original. Matsue is also a good base for sojourns to other places of interest in Shimane Prefecture and you could easily spend a few lazy days here.
Home to spectacular sunsets over neighbouring Lake Shinji,
Matsue is a pleasant, laid-back city with great food and some fine
historical attractions. It straddles the Ōhashi-gawa, the river that
connects Shinji-ko with Nakanoumi, a saline lake.
There’s a compact area
in the north with almost all of Matsue’s interesting sites: an original
castle, a fine samurai residence, the former home of writer Lafcadio
Hearn and garden. It’s worth spending a night or two here to enjoy the
leisurely pace.
