    This is a history museum located in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture. It exhibits materials highlighting the history of Izumo around the Izumo Taisha shrine, and the Iwami silver mine. This museum houses the 358 bronze swords, a national treasure, as well as bronze spearheads, and dotaku (a bell-shaped bronze vessel supposed to have been put to some ceremonial use) from the Kojindani ruins and 39 dotaku from the Kamoiwakura Ruins.

Shinjiko Nature Museum Gobius attracts large numbers of visitors (particularly families) throughout the year.

    5月5日に行きました。ナマズやオオサンショウウオ、鯉などが好きなので大興奮！ 小さい水族館で、タッチプールなど子どもが喜ぶコーナーもありましたが、大人にも見ごたえある内容の展示でした。これでたったの500円！ 外に出ると芝生の広場、ちょっと歩くと宍道湖です。 ちなみに、広島から高速バスで出雲市駅へ、そこから一畑電車で湖遊館新駅で降りて徒歩数分です。GWだけど混雑もなくのんびりできました。おすすめ穴...

    Located in the middle of the Izumo Plain, The Izumo Museum of Quilt Art is Japan's only museum dedicated to the art of quilting. The exhibits are displayed in a traditional Izumo-style farmhouse building that was constructed 200 years ago. The four exhibition zones, the exhibits in which are changed every season, provide visitors with the opportunity to enjoy viewing works by Ms. Mutsuko Yawatagaki (one of the most renowned artists of Japanese style quilting), as well as Ikebana (flower arrangements), Shitsurai (seasonal and ritual decorations), etc. The Museum also has a tea-house, café, and museum shop.

    This museum is well kept and staffed with very friendly people. The art is excellent though not enough on display. The setup is perfect to show off the quilts. However it is a long way from...

    During the Yayoi period, huge Yosumi burial mounds were created in the Izumo region, which involved a considerable expenditure of time and effort. Nishidani Tomb No. 3 is an example of the perfected form of the Yosumi burial mound; the Izumo Yayoinomori Museum, which is located near the Nishidani tombs, shows visitors how the Izumo rulers were buried, making effective use of large models. The Museums’ permanent exhibition showcases some of the large quantity of earthenware vessels that were excavated from Nishidani Tomb No. 3, and also has displays on Izumo in the Yayoi period. There is an experiential activity area where visitors can try their hand at making Yayoi-style clothing and necklaces, etc.

    素晴らしいです！ 弥生時代の出雲の歴史を時系列、遺跡別に見ることができますし、発掘された物も、再現された模型なども様々あり、理解が深まります。 そしてなんといっても無料なのがありがたい限りです。 出雲の歴史に関する書籍も多くの種類があり、貸切で見ることができました。 この博物館と、西谷墳丘墓をセットで見られることをおすすめします。

    Shimane Hana no Sato is a park filled with verdant greenery, where visitors can view beautiful seasonal flowers. Besides the wide variety of flowers in the park—which include cherry blossom, peonies, hydrangeas, cosmos, tulips, etc.—there is also a children’s play area with lots of play equipment, making the park very popular with families. Visitors are allowed to bring food and drink into the park, and on days when the weather is fine it is a great place for a picnic.

    出雲市から一駅いった西出雲に位置している花と緑の楽園です。四季折々の変化をふんだんに楽しめますが、春がおすすめです。

    The Izumo Folk Craft Museum, opened in 1974, is housed within a renovated part of the traditional farmhouse of the Yamamoto family who are known to have been the wealthiest farmers in Izumo. The museum has on display a collection of pieces from all over the country with a particular focus on Shimane Prefecture which includes ceramics and lacquer ware used in people’s everyday lives, wooden items, textiles, dyed objects and metal works, etc. The Nagayamon Gate, built in the Edo period, was erected by the same master builder who constructed the Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine. The main building is currently used as a residence and the rice granary and timber store, now display rooms, are of high historical value. The nearest station is Nishi-Izumo Station.

    河井寛次郎好きな方にはお勧めですが、私はまだ染物の方が興味を惹かれました。これという目玉がありません。おじいさんが一人でチケット販売と土産販売をしていました。

    The Archeological Museum of Kojindani is located adjacent to the Kojindani archeological site; the museum was completed in 2005 to serve as the site museum. The Museum has replicas of the bronze swords, bronze bells and bronze spearheads that were excavated at the Kojindani site, along with explanatory panels, and videos showing documentary footage of the excavations, etc. Besides the permanent exhibitions, the museum also hosts lectures and special thematic exhibitions, as well as other special events such as opportunities to experience planting and harvesting ancient rice strains, etc. The museum shop sells a range of souvenir gifts etc. with designs based on the ancient rice strains, lotus seeds and bronze artifacts discovered at Kojindani; there is an impressive range of gift items that cannot be purchased anywhere else.

    博物館はあまり発見がありませんでした。 荒神谷遺跡のことを深く知りたければ、古代出雲歴史博物館に行かれることをおすすめします。 遺跡から発掘された銅鐸や銅剣、銅矛はそちらに展示されています。

    The Tezen Museum is an art museum located in a converted rice storehouse (dating from the Edo period) and sake storehouse. The Museum has displays of Rakuzan-ware ceramics and Fujina-ware ceramics associated with Matsudaira Harusato, the seventh lord of the Matsue domain and commonly called Fumaiko, as well as lacquer ware featuring the work of several generations of the Kojima family of lacquer-painters, several hundred examples of Izumo region handicrafts, Edo period hanging scrolls and folding screens, and other precious historical materials such as ancient documents, etc.

    こちらは2022年から手錢美術館と改称されています。 静かな通りに、かつての酒造家のきれいな蔵造りの建物が美しい。 中には、不昧公によって育てられた、楽山焼、布志名焼、歴代小島漆壺斎、 小林如泥、そして難読で作品数も少ない伝説的な勝軍木庵（ぬるであん）。 質の高いコレクションですし、人は少なくゆっくり拝見できます。 参道の賑わいに疲れたら、こちらもお勧めしたいです。

    Shimane Pref. Izumoshi Taishachoushurimen 735-5
    Held on January 3 each year, the Kitcho-san festival involves a procession around the town carrying 10-meter-high banners caked “Kitcho-ban” that are embroidered with the characters for Toshitoku-jin (the Goddess of Auspicious Directions). The Kitchokan showcases the “Kitcho-ban” banner and the history, culture and traditional ceremonies of the Taisha Town. The Kitchokan building is constructed in the style of a Shinto shrine; the glittering gold-colored lucky “fans” on the roof are particularly striking. There is a tourist information desk and restrooms, making this a good place to get tourist information for the Izumo area.

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
