I will take you to Shimane Prefecture this time. Shimane is located in the west part of Japan. The area is 6,705㎢ (the 18th size in Japan) and population is approximately 690,000 which is the 46th among 47 prefectures in Japan! Rich source of nature with mountains, rivers, forests and fields. It is very wide long terrain from west to east facing to the Japan sea. This time I went to the east part; Izumo, Yasugi and Matsue. Have you ever heard of IZUMO Taisha? Izumo Taisha
