【島根旅行1】松江・境港｜足立美術館＆水木しげるロード｜島根⇔鳥取行ったり来たり旅！｜絶景庭園と新鮮お刺身グルメ｜ 島根２泊３日｜1日目
Hello! We’re at Nagoya Airport. This time it’s a 3-day, 2-night trip to Shimane (with a little bit of Tottori). Here’s our 3-day Shimane trip itinerary. This video covers Day 1. At the end of the video, I’ll share the total cost for Day 1. So please stay with us until the end! Our flight is with FDA. The airfare for the outbound flight was ¥9,000 × 2 people. Fuel surcharge was ¥1,000 × 2 people. We’ve arrived at Izumo Airport. We’re taking the rental car company’s shuttle to their office. Budget Rent-a-Car Izumo Airport branch. 3 days with insurance included: ¥17,885. Looks like the weather won’t be great for all 3 days. We’ll check the rain radar app and enjoy sightseeing as best we can. Our first stop is the Adachi Museum of Art. It’s about a 50-minute drive from Izumo Airport. The parking lot is large and free. There’s also a free shuttle bus from JR Yasugi Station. On the right is the New Wing, and on the left is the gift shop. Go between the New Wing and the gift shop, cross the street, and you’ll find the Main Building. The entrance is in the Main Building, where you also buy tickets (¥2,500 per adult). Tickets can also be purchased online. The Adachi Museum is celebrated as “Japan’s No.1 Garden,”
earning high praise worldwide. Created by Adachi Zenko and passed down and expanded by his grandson, Adachi Takanori—
Japan’s top garden. The Dry Landscape Garden. The natural mountains in the background blend beautifully with the Japanese garden. The mist on the mountains looks like a Yokoyama Taikan painting… Cafe Midori. From the big windows, you can gaze out at the Dry Landscape Garden. Framed like a painting, the view looks just like a “living artwork.” The “Kikaku Waterfall” was inspired by Yokoyama Taikan’s painting “Nachi Falls.” The Pond Garden. The Adachi Museum isn’t just about its gardens—
inside, you’ll also find masterpieces of Japanese painting, including works by Yokoyama Taikan. If you want to take your time, you might want to allow about two hours. Now we’re off for lunch. Our lunch spot is in Hiezu Village—the only village in Tottori Prefecture. We’ve arrived at Yamayoshi-tei. Since it’s inside the AEON complex, the parking lot is large and free. It’s still 10 minutes before opening, but there’s already a long line. It’s technically a village, but with an AEON here it feels just like a city. We waited for the doors to open while browsing the fresh fish market. The sushi looks so good 🤤 Once the restaurant opened, we bought our meal tickets at the register and waited at our seats. The Hiezu Bowl (¥2,200), named after the village. Topped with salmon roe, crab meat, yellowtail, salmon, tuna, Mosa shrimp, and more 🤤 “Let’s try it with crab and crab miso.” “Mm! So rich!” Here’s the Yamayoshi Bowl (¥1,800). Tuna, squid, salmon roe, crab meat, fresh whitebait 🤤 Wow, that looks amazing!! Ah… Taka-san’s chopsticks are sneaking in from the side… “Mmm! The tuna is delicious!” Ah… “So thick!” Oh no! “Delicious!” … “Okay then, I’ll go with this one.” !? In the end, the Yamayoshi Bowl ended up with Taka-san… “Wow, so good!” “Yours actually looks better.” “…” “Should we split it half and half?” “The Yamayoshi Bowl is shinier, after all.” “Never mind, just keep it.” “Mmm, delicious 💛” “Give me a piece of that bluefin tuna.” “Can I have one shrimp?” “Sure, go ahead.” “Mmm, so good!” “When it’s tasty, you just get so absorbed, don’t you?” “LOL” For some reason we were both drawn to the Yamayoshi Bowl (lol), but the Hiezu Bowl was also amazing. The Hiezu Bowl had plenty of different sashimi and was so satisfying! During crab season, they also serve bowls topped with Matsuba crab and red snow crab. Yamayoshi-tei is highly recommended! At the fresh market, there was not only Yamayoshi Kaisan but also Kimura Fish Shop. There were also restaurants serving tempura and ramen. On the way to our next destination, we spotted an interesting building. A castle-shaped sweets shop?? We decided to stop by. Okashi-no-Kotobuki Castle. The entrance to the parking lot was a bit tricky—we almost got lost, lol. Inside was spacious, with all kinds of sweets for sale. There were lots of samples, which really helps when choosing what to buy. You can also watch the sweets being made in the factory. Huh? EPSON? Do they make candy machines too? At Okashi-no-Kotobuki Castle, Tochimochi rice cakes seem to be the most popular. Since you can try grilled Tochimochi here, we bought one (¥240). “Tadaaa!” “Wow, fresh off the grill!” “Mmm 💛” “It’s filled with smooth red bean paste.” “Delicious.” “I love that roasted flavor.” “So good!” We also bought their No.1 bestseller, the White Tochimochi, as a souvenir. There’s even a café on the second floor of the castle. Next, we’re heading to the Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography. It’s about a 12-minute drive from Kotobuki Castle. Parking is free. Amidst the wide rice fields,
a sleek, modern building stands quietly. We followed the signs toward the entrance. Admission is ¥1,000 for adults. Note: it’s closed in winter from mid-December to the end of February. Photographer Shoji Ueda, 1913–2000. Maybe because of the rain, the museum was very quiet today. On a clear day, you can see Mount Daisen right in front. Even though it was raining, we walked around the building. I could only show the building itself on video,
but seeing Ueda’s works in person is truly moving. His child’s essay about family photo outings really touched my heart—
I could picture the scene so vividly. When the rain stopped, we headed for the Eshima Ohashi Bridge. It’s also known as the “Betabumi-zaka” or “Pedal-to-the-metal Slope.” We crossed it first heading from Tottori into Shimane. It felt more like a gentle slope—nothing too steep. We’re reaching the top of the bridge. You can see Nakaumi Lake spread out below. We’ve entered Matsue City in Shimane Prefecture. We parked at a FamilyMart lot. While Taka-san shopped inside FamilyMart, I went to a photo spot. Turns out it’s so famous that even tour buses stop here. It does look like a pretty steep slope,
but it’s not quite like the photos I’ve seen on social media. To get those SNS-style shots, you really need a telephoto lens. So I brought one along, but it’s heavy and shaky 😖 I couldn’t get a good shot at all 😭 We moved to another spot where it looks even steeper,
but… With the bad weather and strong winds, the photos still didn’t turn out 😭 I’d love to come back on a clear day to capture Eshima Ohashi with Mt. Daisen. Lastly, we crossed the bridge again, this time from Shimane back into Tottori. We’ve arrived at Mizuki Shigeru Road. It’s about an 8-minute drive from Eshima Ohashi. We parked at Kyomachi Parking (¥500 per day). Mizuki Shigeru Road is in Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture. It’s a place where you can dive into the world of manga artist Mizuki Shigeru,
famous for “GeGeGe no Kitaro.” Along this 800-meter street, you’ll find rows of bronze yokai statues. Even the roadside trees look a bit eerie!? Sakaiminato Station. A train wrapped with Sunakake-baba as the star (?). This yokai almost feels like something out of Odilon Redon’s art. Yokai Conference. GeGeGe Plaza. Yokai Shrine. Huh? Kitaro is taking shelter from the rain. Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Hall. Unfortunately, it closes at 5, so we couldn’t go inside. Yokai Food Research Institute. It’s located right next to the Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Hall. Yokai Sweet: Medama-oyaji, made for eating on the go (¥500). A beautifully crafted eyeball-shaped wagashi, handmade by a true Japanese confectioner. “Uhh, this is kinda…” “Feels a bit strange.” Taka-san nervously takes a bite. “Seems like it’s all made with white bean paste.” “It’s so glossy.” It looked like mochi, but it was proper wagashi. The website of the Yokai Food Lab is really fun—definitely worth checking out. The original Medama-oyaji Manju. We chose the classic smooth red bean paste filling. We sat on a nearby bench to enjoy it. “Tastes just like I imagined.” It’s a castella sponge filled with sweet bean paste. We crossed the Eshima Ohashi Bridge again to head to our hotel. The sun peeking through gaps in the rain clouds looked beautiful ✨ The golden sunlight reflecting off Lake Nakaumi created a truly magical scene. There was even a rainbow. We arrived in downtown Matsue City. The mix of rain and sunset painted a mysterious sky. We reached our hotel. After a short rest, we headed out for dinner. We came to a Japanese restaurant about 3 minutes’ drive from the hotel. Taiya. We had reserved the Bamboo Course (¥3,420). Appetizer. Marinated fish Nanban-style. “Mmm.” “Delicious.” Sea bream and rapeseed greens with miso-vinegar sauce. “The refined miso-vinegar flavor is delicious.” Blanched komatsuna greens with tiny shrimp. Steamed egg custard with cod milt. The dashi stock is rich and it’s really tasty. Taka-san ordered sake called “Gassan.” “It’s unfiltered sake.” “This is insanely good!” Sashimi. From the right: cutlassfish, lightly seared renkodai, chopped sardine, sea bream, and yellowtail. Every piece of sashimi was delicious 😋 Today’s special dish. The ring-shaped topping is deep-fried sea bream skin. Crispy and delicious. The sea bream was cooked so delicately, it felt almost like French cuisine. Simmered sea bream head. “Wow, impressive.” “Looks amazing!” What a magnificent sea bream head. “Delicious!” “No doubt about it—so good.” “Absolutely delicious!” The sweet and savory sauce paired with the tender white fish was fantastic! Fried dish. We ate it with just a little salt. Freshly fried, crispy, and so good. Taka-san chose the sea bream rice. Cooked under pressure in a cast-iron pot, the rice came out fluffy. You break apart the sea bream fillet on top and mix it into the rice before eating. “Tadaaa!” “Alright then.” “Time to try the famous sea bream rice!” “Mm-hmm!” “So light and clean!” I chose the sea bream chazuke. The marinated sea bream is placed on top of the rice. Then you pour the hot dashi broth over it… Itadakimasu! Such a generous cut of sea bream! So comforting 😊 Delicious 😋 Finally, dessert. That was such a wonderful meal! For the ending, I’ll give you a little room tour. And I’ll share the total cost of Day 1 in Shimane & Tottori. But first, here’s the hotel cost for Green Rich Hotel Matsue Ekimae. Two single rooms for one night each (no meals). We booked through Yahoo Travel with a 10% discount. Now, here are the expenses for Day 1. The total for our first day in Shimane & Tottori was… On Day 2 of our Shimane trip, we’ll explore Matsue’s sights and local food. Please come back and watch the next video too! Thank you so much for watching until the end. Good night.
