Welcome to Tsuwano, the “Little Kyoto” of San’in Region.

Nestled deep in the west mountains of Shimane Prefecture, Tsuwano is well known for its beautiful castle town landscapes, lush nature, its old traditions and cultural events that have been remarkably preserved for centuries.

Come take a plunge into history by exploring our Japan Heritage, the "Hyakkeizu", which are 100 paintings depicting in vivid detail, the daily life of the Tsuwano Domain during the Edo period, about 160 years ago.

This is indeed a discovery into the real Japan…

An experience not to be missed by Nippon Lovers!!
