Sagimai Dance and Castle Town Walk in Tsuwano
White-walled buildings and colorful carp swimming in the canals of Tsuwano, the Little Kyoto of Sanin. Take a stroll through this atmospheric castle town to experience its history and culture.
Located in the western part of Shimane Prefecture, Tsuwano is a charming castle town referred to as the 'Little Kyoto of Sanin.' The scenery of white-walled samurai residences on Tonomachi Street with colorful carp leisurely swimming in the canal represents the quintessential Japanese landscape. In July, the Sagimai dance, designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, is dedicated at local shrines, and many tourists visit to witness this elegant performance. With abundant attractions including the thousand torii gates of Taikodani Inari Shrine and the Yasuno Mitsumasa Art Museum, a visit via steam locomotive 'Yamaguchi' adds to the romantic atmosphere of the journey.
