About my hometown!
Hi! My name is Mizuki. Please call me Mizuki. Today introduce my hometown. My hometown is Matsue town in Shimane prefecture. Many famous things are in Matsue and especially the Shinji lake, the Matsue castle etc. Home many tourists.
The Matsue castle has passed no less than 400 years, after being built, and it is a building where history is very deep. The river called Horikawa is flowing into the surroundings of a castle, and although it sees by ship and turns, it can do. Please come once and see.
The surrounding town of a castle is called a castle town (joukamati) and can enjoy Lafcadio Hearn's house and the scenery of a traditional town. Do you know Lafcadio hearn? It is called an alias and Koizumi Yakumo. He liked making a ghost story and left the worh of many, such as ear-less Houichi and a snow fairy and so on.
The shinji lake is famous. Since it is the brackish water lake where fresh water and sea water were mixed, it is very new.

I don't know much about the lake in Japan, but the lake must be really beautiful to attract a lot of tourists to go there!
ReplyDeleteIf I have chance to go there, I will definitely go see Matsue castle and Shinji lake!
Matsue is such a nice place. I have attended a firework festival there couple of years ago. I even have a friend who attends Matsue Institute of Technology. I thought that Matsue castle was very nice. I think it's a lot better the Osaka castle because it's more pure.
