Minamikan
Matsue [Shimane Prefecture] |

In the center of a castle town Matsue, Minamikan is located on the waterfront of Shinjiko Lake. Since 1888, Minamikan has been loved by famous authors such as Yakumo Koizumi (Lafcadio Hearn), Yasunari Kawabata, Ryunosuke Akutagawa. You will see their autographed poems in the lounge.
The Karesansui style garden, with white sand and pine trees over 200 years old, has been ranked highly for the past few years by "Journal of Japanese Gardening" magazine.
The interior inside each room has a traditional and modern elegance. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, overlooking the lake and the beautiful Japanese garden. In the evening, you can enjoy the sunset (the best season is winter). In the morning, you will hear the gentle sound of fishermen digging clams at the lake.
The garden, the food, and mostly the hospitality are all derived from the Chanyu spirit, which is based on Zen. At Minamikan, a soothing and healing moment awaits your arrival.
