Matsue Shinji-ko Onsen is a hot spring which opened in 1971 with the source of onsen 1,250 meters below Lake Shinji. It is located beside Lake Shinji (Shinji-ko) which is a famous for beautiful sunsets. The onsen town contains many modern ryokan (Japanese traditional inn), and about 10 inns. You can walk in the castle town with a taste of Edo period which contains Matsue Castle, a tea ceremony room and a samurai residence. You can also walk along the lake and it is a good location as a mid-point on the way to Izumo, and a prime base for sightseeing Matsue. Since there is also an onsen for feet around Matsue Shinji-ko Onsen Station on Ichibata Dentetsu Line, the center of the city, you can communicate with local people while warming your feet.
