Izumo Taisha
4.4
4.7/551 Reviews
Historic buildings
Opening hours: 06:30-19:00
翱翔的大鲨鱼:“Izumo is a very popular place. With blue sky and white clouds, you can definitely see the stars at night. Friends who are looking for a good marriage must go to Izumo Taisha Shrine. I have said before that many couples can also find a good marriage here!
As for food, Izumo Soba (buckwheat) is actually a must-try.
On a hot summer day, I love a cup of iced coffee the most. Of course, shaved ice is also a good choice!”

Adachi Museum of Art
4.2
4.8/521 Reviews
Themed exhibition halls
Opening hours: 09:00-17:30
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.”

Matsue Castle
3.9
4.6/534 Reviews
Historic buildings
Opening hours: 08:30-18:00 (admission ends at 17:30)
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.”

5.0/58 Reviews
Opening hours: 10:00-17:00
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!”
Shimane Aquarium - Aquas
3.5
5.0/53 Reviews
Opening hours: 09:00-17:00
coo***an:“【View】Although it is a small aquarium, you can enjoy it because there are many aquariums where you can touch fish, shellfish, starfish, etc. You can also touch dolphins in one line without any special reservation or additional charge. You can enter the Toy Kingdom with the same admission fee. There are many toys and you can play freely, so I think it is very suitable for children aged 2 to 3 and children in the lower grades of elementary school. It seems that JAF and other admission discount tickets are often issued. Especially in winter, I think there are many things that can be put in cheaply. Unfortunately, the toilet is old and small. Has it been renovated at present? Delayed? It seems that we want the toilet to be easy to use even with children.”
Izumo Hinomisaki Lighthouse
3.4
4.0/51 Reviews
Open tomorrow at 09:00-16:10
すに:“If you pay the entrance fee, you can go inside the observation deck and go up to the top. The stairs inside are narrow, so when there are a lot of people, priority is given to those going down. The view from the top of the observation deck is great. You can also go to the rocks below, but there are no handrails or fences, so it can be dangerous if you're not careful.”Where to stay
