Matsue, Shimane (26 April, 2005)
Matsue is the centre of Izumo Region and a castle town. Located between two big lakes, Matsue is famous for seafood. Since one of the past feudal lords was a tea ceremony master, tea ceremony culture has been developed in this town.
The Matsue Castle is a comparatively big one with a big tower.

Built in mid 1600s, this castle tower is the second biggest one. Of course this is wooden. This tower is built at the top of a hill, and you can have entire view of the town from the top floor of the tower.

Yae-Zakura Cherry was very impressive. I tried to express the grandeur of the castle, but well... that is very difficult.

The season of azalea has started. I like this foto. A wooden western style building behind can be a good accent.
