Depart from port for a full-day sightseeing experience in Matsue and Sakaiminato. Begin at the Adachi Museum of Art, which displays a variety of Japanese paintings, ceramics and art through the ages. The surrounding gardens are considered the most beautiful in Japan. Pause for lunch and taste the delicacies of the region before continuing on to the 500-year-old Matsue Castle built by Yoshiharu Horio, founder of Matsue city, to tour the extensive grounds. Your exciting day concludes at Mizuki Shigeru Road, devoted to statues of ghouls and goblins that appear in local author Shigeru Mizuki's beloved ghost stories and cartoons. In the center of the road, you'll find the Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Hall. Shop for a few souvenirs before transferring back to port.

Special Notes:

Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Hall is closed from March 9, 2023 until Spring 2024 due to renovation work. During this period, a visit to a local Fish Market (Sakaiminato Suisanbutsu Chokubai Center) will substitute Mizuki Shigeru Road and Memorial Hall stop. The tour will drive by Mizuki Shigeru Road.
