行摄一路:“Matsue Castle is the only castle tower that has been preserved in the San'in region. It is one of only 12 castles in Japan with a castle tower built before the Edo period, and one of the few castles made of wood rather than concrete. Exit from the back gate of Matsue Castle and walk for about ten minutes to attractions such as the Samurai Residence, Lafcadio Hearn's Former Residence, and Shiomi Nawate.”
雨停晴空:“In this season, many leaves in this park have turned yellow... It looks very beautiful. The scenery of the park is pretty good, the environment is good, and the scenery is pleasant. It's very relaxing to come here!”
行摄一路:“The Adachi Museum of Art was founded based on the art collection of Mr. Zenko Adachi, who was born in Yasugi City. The museum's garden is also very beautiful. In the large garden of 50,000 square meters, various creative gardens such as the dry landscape garden, moss garden, pond garden, white sand and green pine garden were built by taking advantage of the mountains of Izumo. The garden has been selected as the number one garden in Japan for 15 consecutive years since 2003.”
Sumi_gotravel:“The Torikan Prefectural Museum of Art is one of the famous spots to enjoy the sunset in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. Matsue City is originally famous for its sunsets. Unfortunately, I came at the wrong time this time, it was cloudy and rainy.
Fortunately, for just a few minutes, the sun shined through the clouds. The scene was already beautiful. But if it hadn't been cloudy, the sunset would have been even more beautiful.”
Todemmy:“I didn't expect so much, but Matsue Vogel Park is really great! The area has a roof, so you can enjoy it even on rainy days.
【Fun】A great place to hide from the rain!”
