Matsue Castle

Matsue Castle (松江城, Matsue-jō) is a feudal castle in Matsue in Shimane prefecture, Japan. Nicknamed the "black castle" or "plover castle", it is one of the few remaining medieval castles in Japan – at least of the few remaining in their original wooden form, and not a modern reconstruction in concrete.

The construction of Matsue Castle began in 1607 and finished in 1611, under the local lord Horio Yoshiharu. In 1638, the fief and castle passed to the Matsudaira clan, a junior branch of the ruling Tokugawa clan.

Most Japanese castles have been damaged or destroyed by war, earthquakes, or other causes. Since a large part of their construction was wooden, fire was a major hazard. Matsue castle was built after the last great war of feudal Japan, so it never saw a battle. Yet only some of the walls and the keep exist today.

Matsue Castle, standing on the shores of Shinji Lake, is one of Japan's Three Great Lake Castles. It is also known as a riverside district.

“Strawberry Picking and Oysters in Itoshima”

It was a pleasant day with Mitsui being our driver and Koga our guide. The people in this site were very helpful, responsive and accommodating. Definitely recommending their service when you want to book your tour. I don’t have a hard time booking with them. They were flexible in our last minute change in time. Mitsui was an excellent driver and very warm. Koga was also an excellent guide which gave us a very wonderful day tour in Fukuoka. Kudos to your team.

“Total Dedication”

We booked a service from Oita to the airport following the Japan Rugby game. Despite the intense traffic and difficulty of access to the stadium, the driver pulled out all the stops to get us to the airport on time - and we made it. Thank you very much for your excellent service and dedication to the passengers!
