Shinji Lake, Shimane Prefecture

4.2

#1 of 43 in Nature in Shimane Prefecture

Visit Shinji Lake, an impressive natural feature surrounded by plenty of attractions. The scenery of the lake and surrounding areas can be explored by land or water, with a number of cruise companies offering trips out onto the lake. With a circumference of 47 km (29 mi), the lake represents the seventh largest body of water in the country. A brackish lake where freshwater and saltwater blend together, the lake supports a diverse number of aquatic species, including whitebait, sea bass, eels, and shijimi shellfish. Head to one of the lakeside seafood restaurants to sample dishes made with what are commonly known as the "seven delicacies of Shinji-ko." Put Shinji Lake into our Matsue day trip website and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.

空港から松江方面に少し車を走らせると、宍道湖が左手側に見えてきました。島根県立美術館より手前あたりに宍道湖脇に車を止めるととこがありそこから、夕日を見ることができました。車を自由に止めることができ、宍道湖全体を見渡せるので夕日を見るのに最適な場所です。 more »

From the airport to Matsue little cars to run and Shinji Lake is seen on the left hand side. From the Shimane Prefecture Art Museum could watch the sunset from there, this and stop the car beside the Shinji Lake around. Ideal can feel free to stop the car, because it overlooks the entire Lake Shinji sunset view.

夕陽が有名な宍道湖ですが、朝陽も綺麗です。美術館側から望む夕陽とは逆に、宍道湖温泉に連なって建つホテルからも望めます。ホテル目の前の道路を渡ると宍道湖沿いに約1キロの遊歩道があります。大山方面から登る朝陽を眺めながら朝のウォーキングやランニングはとても気持ちがいいです！ more »

日本国内では7番目の面積を誇る、ヤマトシジミの産地として有名な汽水湖です。汽水湖とは淡水と海水が混じっている湖です。宍道湖に沈む夕日の美しさは絶景で、日本一だと評されることもあります。

眺めが綺麗です。特に夕暮れ時には最高の眺めです。心落ち着く場所です。時を忘れゆっくりしたくなるようなそんな気分です。いつか、今度は１人ではなく、二人で❗

The view is beautiful. It is a view especially at dusk when the best. Heart is a place to settle down. I feel sometimes forget, and want to be like that. One day, but this time one person, not two ❗
