About
To the west of Tottori and north of Hiroshima, Shimane Prefecture offers up a great northern coastline with plenty to see. The ancient Izumo Taisha Shrine, one of the country’s oldest and most significant Shinto shrines, attracts many visitors seeking spiritual solace and a connection to Japan’s ancient traditions. In addition to this sacred site, Shimane is known for its scenic Lake Shinji, a picturesque body of water, and Matsue Castle, a well-preserved fortress that provides a fascinating glimpse into Japan’s feudal era through its historical exhibits and traditional architecture.
