Japan Trip: Morijuku Art Museum interesting interior design Tsuwano, Shimane016
Tsuwano is one of several cities across Japan nicknamed Small Kyoto. The reason for the comparison is Tsuwano's old town which features some preserved historic buildings and keeps an atmosphere reminiscent of past centuries. The highlight is the Tonomachi district where one street block of the former samurai district is particularly well preserved with earthen walls, historic buildings and a water canal filled with carps.

Trip to Tsuwano JAPAN
Our trip to Tsuwano, Japan, taken by the SL (steam locomotive) train from Yamaguchi in the summer of 2015. Along the Tonomachi Street, you can find the Tsuwano Catholic Church, and we end our trip at the beautiful Taikodani Inari Shrine.
Taikodani Inari Shrine ☆ Tsuwano, Shimane ☆ 太鼓谷稲成神社 ☆ Japan As It Truly Is
Taikodani is one of the grander Inari shrines and offers a spectacular mountaintop view.
Taikodani is one of the top 5 Inari shrines in Japan, and while Fushimi Inari in Kyoto is much larger, Taikodani is more peaceful yet still offers a 1000 torii gate tunnel which zigzags to the top. For brevity, in the video this has been cut down to show a few select areas - but takes about 10 minutes to go through. The shrine was established in 1773 to spiritually protect Tsuwano Castle, and commoners couldn't enter until around a century later.
Tsuwano in Shimane is an often overlooked place but gives a very tranquil and old Japan feel, with its canal lined streets with carp, beautiful cherry blossoms, and laid back atmosphere.
Admission is free.

Tsuwano (津和野) , a small, peaceful town located on the western edge of Shimane Prefecture is a beautiful place to wander around.
Being untouched by tall buildings, neon lights, visitors can take a deep breath to let this traditional town sink in. Some attractions this town holds are:
**Old Samurai Mansions in the Town Center—the dark red roofs tiles, white walls and wooden windows paint a picture from the past
**Taikondani Inari Shrine—one of the five greatest Inari Shrines
**Carp—the waterways along the main street are the swimming routes for these active beautiful creatures. There are stores which sell carp food.

Subscribe link:
Within the hills which surround Tsuwano Town in Shimane Prefecture, is the Taikodani Inari Shrine (太皷谷稲荷神社). The red shrine structures along the green mountains, makes this shrine hard to miss.
Originally built in the 18th century near the Tsuwano Castle, the shrine’s primary function was to protect the castle. However, currently people visit Taikodani Inari Shrine to pray for good health and fortune. Being one of the five greatest Inari Shrines in Japan, many traditional ceremonies are also performed here.
There are a large number of red torii gates over the steps leading up to the shrine. Visitors will feel they are passing a torii tunnel as they approach the main shrine grounds. Within the main shrine grounds lies a beautiful main hall. The former main hall can also be seen here. As seen in other shrines in Shimane Prefecture, sacred straw ropes are strung across the front of the halls at Taikodani Inari Shrine.
Hours: never closed
Closed: opened all year round
Admission: Free
Access Information:
**From Tsuwano Station, about 15-20 minutes on foot to the bottom of the stairway leading up to the shrine. It takes about 15 minutes to walk up the stairs to the main shrine grounds.

【★006★Shiga Koka Miho Museum】
Subscribe link:
The Miho Museum stands deep in the forested hill west of central Koka and can be visited in a side trip from Kyoto. It was designed by the renowned architect, I. M. Pei, and is named after Koyama Mihoko, one of the richest women in Japan and the founder of the museum.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the museum is the design of its structures and how they are integrated into their natural surroundings. This is highlighted in the museum's approach which leads through a mixture of man-made and natural environments. The inside of the museum continues this theme by contrasting steel and glass with warm stone and panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.
The museum's exhibits consist of works from ancient civilizations including the Egyptians, Romans, and various Asian cultures, with the pieces largely coming from Koyama's private collection. The main exhibit changes every year or so, and special exhibits change every few months. From Kyoto
Take the JR Tokaido Line (local, rapid or special rapid service) from Kyoto Station to Ishiyama Station (240 yen, 15 min). From there take Teisan bus number 150 to the Miho Museum (820 yen, 50 min). The bus departs from bus stop three and says Miho Museum in both English and Japanese on its sign.
The bus arrives at the museum's reception building which contains the ticket desk, gift shop, and a small restaurant. Purchase your tickets here before making your way to the museum's entrance either on foot (five to ten minutes) or by free museum shuttle. From Central Koka
Although there is a road that connects central Koka with the Miho Museum, there exists no direct public transportation between the two. Instead, a detour via Kusatsu and Ishiyama would be required. A rental car is recommended if you plan to visit both the Miho Museum and Koka's ninja attractions.
Hours: 10:00 to 17:00 (entry until 16:00)
Closed: Mondays (the following day if Monday is a national holiday). Closed irregularly for long periods of time between exhibitions. Please consult the schedule on the museum's website (see links below).
Admission: 1100 yen
Steam train arrive at Tsuwano Japan
Double Header steam train from Yamaguchi-City to Tsuwano.
The train runs most weekends and is called Yamaguchi-Go and is pulled by C56 and C57. On the trip back to Yamaguchi it is coming back down from the mountains, so the loco's are on the front and back.
We travel on the trip back and it was wonderful. Japanese trains have windows at every seat that opens from the top and bottom. So you can open the bottom window and hear the engines. No Elf and Safety police here, so no problem sticking your head out or your camera. Mind you it is single track, so the only thing you would hit is a branch.
Back home now and still having bits of soot falling out my hair

Japan Travel: History and Art which appeal to Women, Tsuwano Old Town, Shimane Prefecture, Japan 14 Moopon
Tsuwano Town, in Shimane Prefecture, is one of the many towns known as “Small Kyoto”. Towns in Japan with strong historic atmosphere, ones which preserves traditional structures receive this nickname. A quick walk around this beautiful town will demonstrate why Tsuwano is deserving of the “Small Kyoto” nickname.
The Tonomachi district, one block away from the former samurai district, is a glimpse from the past. Visitors will enjoy the earthen stone walls, traditional buildings, and most of all the canals filled with carp. Images of samurais and kimono wearing maidens walking these Edo streets can easily appear in one’s minds as they wander around.
Nearby, between Tsuwano Station and the Tonomachi District is the former merchant district. Though not as preserved as the Tonomachi District, this area also has old-style Japanese stone walls as well as historically structured buildings. In addition, there are Japanese sake stores and museums here.
