Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Matsue’s castle-town scenery around the keep and Shiomi Nawate. Plan keep admission separately from a street walk, and check current official notices about restoration and restricted paths.

This guide covers places within Matsue, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Shiomi Nawate

塩見縄手

This street beside the moat preserves the atmosphere of former samurai residences. The image shows pines, walls and roadway. Walking the street is separate from entering houses or museums; watch for traffic and residents.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Matsue is also known for sweets shaped by its tea culture. Consult the local products guide for seasonal wagashi, and check ingredients and availability. Sweets are not necessarily served as a set with tea.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
