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.
