    Izumo Bunka Denshokan (Izumo Cultural Heritage Museum) preserves the cultural heritage of the Izumo region with displays that include the relocated Omoya (main building) and Nagaya-mon Gate of the former residence of the Ezumi Family (who were wealthy farmers resident in the Izumo region), a recreation of the Dokuraku-an (a teahouse which was beloved by Matsudaira Harusato, the seventh lord of the Matsue domain and commonly called Fumaiko), an Izumo-style garden, etc. There is also a Soba noodle restaurant where visitors can enjoy authentic Izumo Soba noodles, and an Izumo Cultural Workshop where visitors can take part in creative activities, etc., making this an ideal destination for people of all ages.

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.
