Tsuwano: Strolling Through the Little Kyoto of Sanin
Stroll through the castle town of Tsuwano, known as the Little Kyoto of Sanin, while gazing at colorful koi swimming in the moat. The scenery of white walls and red Sekishu tile roofs is beautiful.
Tsuwano Town is a castle town located in western Shimane Prefecture, known for its beautiful scenery called the 'Little Kyoto of Sanin.' Colorful koi swim in the moat along Tono-machi Street, and white-walled samurai residences and merchant houses with red Sekishu tile roofs create an atmospheric landscape. Cultural facilities are abundant, including the thousand torii gates of Taiko-dani Inari Shrine, Mori Ogai's former residence, and the Anno Mitsuaki Museum of Art. Visiting by the SL Yamaguchi steam locomotive is also recommended, and combining nostalgic train travel with a castle town stroll is a popular way to experience the town.
