Lake Shinjiko Sunset Viewing Spot

Watch Beautiful Sunsets from the Lake Shinjiko Sunset Viewing Spot

〜Superb views from Matsue, the city of water〜

The shore of Lake Shinjiko (National Road 9) in Matsue, Shimane is an extremely beautiful sunset viewing spot.
When you think about sunsets, the Sea of Japan may be the first location to come to mind, but Lake Shinjiko is also listed in the Japan Sunset Best 100.

In fine weather, many people view and photograph the sunset from the sunset terrace.

A major feature of viewing the sunset from Lake Shinjiko is seeing the sun line up with Yomegashima Island on Lake Shinjiko.
On the path at the spot, there are signs indicating the positions from which the sun lines up with the island at various times of year.
Take your time and enjoy viewing the sunset at Lake Shinjiko.
