One of the best places in Shimane to enjoy cherry blossoms or take in views of Lake Shinji.
Named the most beautiful traditional garden in Japan for two decades.
Archeological evidence, historical texts and oral traditions trace the story of Shimane Prefecture so far that eventually, one exits the realm of concrete records and enters the world of myths. This is why exhibits at the Shimane Museum of Ancient Izumo blend historical and mythological sources to capture a glimpse of the old Izumo Province (now eastern Shimane).
A museum featuring 40 exhibits a year and spectacular sunset views of Lake Shinji.
