Matsue as a Touristic Site
Matsue is a cradle land of ancient mythology as well as an attractive cultural city that has Japanese rich history.
Matsue is well known as “a city of water” because it is located between the Sea of Japan and two lakes, Lake Shinji and Nakaumi. The conference participants can enjoy the spectacular sunset view of the lake. Surrounded by beautiful nature, Matsue has a castle built in 1611 during Edo Period. The Matsue Castle has been the city’s symbol, and become a national treasure. Near Lake Shinji, there is one of the most important and ancient Shinto shrines, Izumo Taisha, where Shinto deities gather for a meeting once a year. In addition to that, this region is the birthplace of Japanese Mythology.
In addition, Matsue’s warm and welcoming locals make tourists feel like they are part of the community, enhancing the overall travel experience.
