Shimane Hidden Gems

Cuna de la mitología japonesa: el gran santuario de Izumo Taisha es morada de las deidades del destino y el matrimonio, y cada octubre los ocho millones de dioses se reúnen aquí. El castillo de Matsue conserva su torre original y el jardín del Museo Adachi lleva 20 años consecutivos como el mejor de Japón.
