Former Taisha Station

A beautiful wooden station building designated as an important cultural property of the country. Interiors and railway goods with high historical value are worth seeing as well as railway fans.

Visiting this old station feels like going back in time. You can still see the schedules, mannequins wearing the original uniform, the railtracks and the train. The best part is it is free and near the other tourist spots.

Matsue Castle Town

Reviewed By GaryH990 - Bloomington, United States

A stroll around the castle moat will take you to a collection of rather old houses, done in the early style but updated for convenience. Several are now tea houses or soba noodle shops, all set in very pleasant surroundings.

Tokoji Temple

Reviewed By Yuan_MY - Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

It was a pleasant 15-20 minutes walk from Shoin Shrine to Tokoji Temple. The Chinese-influenced Tokoji Temple is located in the compound after passing through the first beautiful red gate and the second imposing and intricate gate. Walking deeper into the temple compound, you will reach the graves of the odd-numbered Mori lords (The first and even-numbered lords are at the more out of the way Daishoin Temple. However, their graves are just as impressive) Upon reaching the graves which was in a serene wooded area, hundreds of beautiful traditional stone lanterns lined the paths to the graves. Really a magnificent sight.

Daishoin Temple

Reviewed By HarryTours_Official - Cologne, Germany

What I like about Japanese religion and its places of worship is that they treat them serious. In terms of cleanliness, architectural beauty and uniqueness of style and craftsmanship are they really wondrous sights to behold and therefore always worth a visit. Then again they don't seem to dogmatic about it and don't try to convert you every step along the way. Same goes for Daishoin temple, which was a spectacular sight in fall colors and, by the way, made for some of our best photos taken during our Japan trip. Absolute pleasure this place!
