Lake Shinji, located in Shimane Prefecture, is the seventh largest lake in Japan.
It is connected to Nakaumi Lagoon and the Sea of Japan through the Ohashi River.
The water of Lake Shinji is brackish.
If you walk from Matsue Station to the west, you will be at the lakeside in fifteen minutes on foot. You will see a large stone lantern on the lakeside.
You will also Buddha statues.
On the lake side in front of the Shimane Art Museum, the statues of Japanese hare are located.
Shimane Prefecture used to be "Izumo Province" from the written history until the middle age.
"Izumo" is a treasure trove of Japanese myths. "Nihonshoki", Chronicles of Japan, and "Kojiki", Records of Ancient Matters both written in the eighth century describe Japan originally generated in this area.
One of the Japanese myths describes of a Japanese hare.
After visiting the ruins of Matsue Castle, "Shiomi-Nawate" Historical District and taking a "Horikawa" Pleasure Boat, I went back to Lake Shinji.

It was about sunset.
Lake Shinji is well-known for beautiful sunset. Unfortunately, clouds covered the setting sun.
A young couple was sitting and talking each other for a while, by the lakeside of Lake Shinji.
It was very peaceful time and atmosphere.
When you visit Matsue, please do not miss Lake Shinji.
