Introducing Tsuwano
Tsuwano is a relaxing, 700-year-old mountain town with a bit of something for everyone – a fine shrine and castle ruins, buildings reminiscent of the Edo era and literary sites. It’s in the far western reaches of Shimane-ken, about 42km east of Hagi, and has a wonderful collection of carp swimming in the roadside water channels – in fact, there are far more carp here than people!
