During my days traveling in Matsue, my mood was as changeable as the clouds, sometimes excited, sometimes disappointed. Whenever Matsue is mentioned, what comes to mind is not the famous Matsue Castle, but the sunset of Lake Shinji—a magnificent scene praised by many poets. The sunset is said to be one of the most beautiful in all of Japan, making one eager to experience that awe-inspiring moment in person. I always remember that the local government announces the exact time of the sunset every day, and this moment attracts many tourists to take boats out on the lake, hoping to encounter the sunset. Unfortunately, the schedule of this trip did not allow me to stay for that beautiful moment. I felt immense regret, imagining how stunning the scene would be with the sunset painting the entire lake red under a clear sky. Even more captivating is the reflection of the clouds, which is said to make the sunset of Lake Shinji even more enchanting. Although I did not witness it with my own eyes, I have already painted that beautiful scene in my mind. Since the Meiji era, the sunset of Lake Shinji has been renowned, and today, tourists still flock to witness that fleeting yet precious moment. Here, the Matsue city government has even set up special chairs and photo areas for sunset viewing, allowing people to quietly enjoy this beauty. The Shimane Prefectural Art Museum is also built on the lakeshore, with glass walls that allow every visitor to appreciate the afterglow of the sunset from inside the museum. Unfortunately, I missed that moment, and my heart is filled with regret. Even so, I still felt the charm of this city. Walking into the museum, I was captivated by the water-related artworks in the exhibition rooms, as if they were telling the story of Lake Shinji. The design of the museum also fully considers the beauty of the lakeside, with each window like a carefully framed picture. Although I was unable to witness that picturesque sunset, this journey made me deeply yearn for Matsue. Perhaps, on my next visit, I can sit quietly by Lake Shinji, waiting for that moment to arrive, letting my soul be truly released under the sunset. This expectation will become an eternal memory in my heart.

This time, I visited Matsue Castle, a fortress steeped in history, and felt a profound sense of cultural heritage. Standing before the castle gate, I was filled with awe. This place is not only a witness to history but also the origin of countless stories. Walking inside, the ancient stone walls and tiled roofs exuded the fragrance of time. Each step felt like a conversation with the past, as if I could hear the footsteps of samurais and the hustle and bustle of the castle's inhabitants. I observed everything carefully, filled with respect for history. Every corner of Matsue Castle holds countless memories, allowing me to feel the glory and weight of the past. Standing on the castle tower, overlooking the scenery of Matsue, I felt a surge of gratitude. This land has witnessed numerous events, whether it was the prosperity of peace or the pain of war, all of which are important parts of human history. I am grateful to those who fought to protect this land, for it is their efforts that allow us to enjoy this cultural heritage today. In the castle's exhibition hall, I saw many precious artifacts and historical materials, which served as windows into the life of that era. Each exhibit told its own story, making me realize that history is not just words in books but living memories. I felt a sense of responsibility to cherish this history and pass it on. As I left Matsue Castle, my heart was filled with gratitude. I thank this castle for making me rethink the meaning of history, for making me understand the power of culture and human wisdom. Matsue Castle is not just a tourist destination but a place for spiritual cleansing, allowing me to deeply feel the weight and value of history. This journey was not only an appreciation of beautiful scenery but also a reflection on the past. I hope to have more opportunities in the future to follow the footsteps of history, to understand and cherish all that we have. Matsue Castle, thank you for teaching me the value of history and for allowing me to feel a resonance with my soul on this land.

Speaking of matchmaking, Izumo Taisha Shrine has quite an interesting history and is one of my favorites. The current main hall is 24 meters high, but it was apparently about four times that height, at 96 meters, a long time ago. It was also said to have been 48 meters high during the Heian period, and a huge pillar was discovered in 2000. I was amazed that they had the technology to build such a tall structure so long ago! The way to worship is also different from that of ordinary shrines, with two bows, four claps, and a bow at the end. The Kagura Hall, seen in the top image, is home to one of the largest shimenawa ropes in Japan. It was bigger than I expected when I got close, and I was overwhelmed.

Highly recommended by locals! [Shunsai Local Cuisine Ichiryu] Steamed clams, bebe shellfish, Izumo soba, and blackthroat seaperch. They let us try all the local Shimane cuisine in one go😊 Everything was delicious, but what particularly impressed me was the innovative fried soba noodles! When you bite into them, the crispy aroma of soba spreads, and the deep-fried soba noodles, which are a great way to enjoy the chewy flavor, were the best❤️ 💰Price per person: 5,000 yen 📍Location: 537-15 Isemiya-cho, Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 5:30pm - 10pm Closed on Sundays and Wednesdays #Shunsai Local Cuisine Ichiryu #Matsue #Shimane #Shimane Trip #0 Yen Trip
