[2025 Matsue ] Travel Guide for Tamatsukuri Onsen (Updated Jul)

I went sightseeing in Shimane for 1 night and 2 days. | Izumo | First, I rented a car and went to "Inasa Beach" and "Izumo Taisha Shrine". 📝 It's recommended to go in November, when the gods from all over the country gather, as it's very lively! After the visit, I went on a food tour around Izumo Taisha Shrine 🍦 | Matsue | I moved to Matsue and went to Tamatsukuri Onsen ♨️ 🏨 Relax while eating and drinking at Tamai Annex. On the second day, I moved to | Shima |. I tried sand painting at the "Sand Museum" 🏛 They also have the largest hourglass in Japan that measures one year. It's a bit far, but I recommend you go there at least once. After that, I moved to Matsue again and went to "Yaegaki Shrine". Fortune telling is popular, where you float paper in Kagami-no-ike pond and see how far it takes for a coin to sink. There are still many things to see, such as art museums and sunset spots, so 1 night and 2 days was not enough. 📍Shimane #Shimane Tourism #Shimane Trip #Izumo Taisha Shrine #Travel in Japan #Japan

We went to Tamasakuyu Shrine in the Tamazukuri Onsen area, a hot spring spot in Shimane Prefecture. The wish stones that can be purchased at the shrine office are all different in color and shape, so you can make them your own unique amulets! The bags that you put the wish stones in are also colorful and cute. The fun part is not knowing what you'll get until you open them☺️ Place the wish stone against the wish stone in the shrine and send it power. May your wish come true✨ #shimane #shrine #hotspring #amulet

When visiting Tamatsukuri Onsen, don't just enjoy the rejuvenating hot springs—be sure to explore its fascinating historical and cultural landmarks! This time, I visited Tamatsukuriyu Shrine, Inari Shrine, the Tamatsukuri Ruins, and the Tamatsukuri Fortress Ruins. It felt like a journey through time! 💫 1. Tamatsukuriyu Shrine: A Sacred Spot for Beauty and Love 💖 Nestled deep within the onsen town, this shrine is the guardian of Tamatsukuri Onsen. Its unique feature is the **"Magatama Wishing Ritual"**! You can purchase a magatama (a traditional curved bead) at the shrine, cleanse it with onsen water, and then touch the "Wishing Stone" within the shrine. It's said to grant your wishes, especially for beauty and love! Of course, I gave it a try, hoping to transform into a radiant beauty! ✨ 2. Inari Shrine: Mystical Vibes Under the Red Torii Gates 🏮 Though small in scale, the path leading up is lined with vibrant red torii gates, making it incredibly photogenic! Sunlight filtering through the gates creates a serene and sacred atmosphere. This shrine is dedicated to Inari, the deity of harvest and commerce, and is also a great place to pray for good fortune! ⛩️ 3. Tamatsukuri Ruins: Discover the Origins of Magatama ⛏️ Tamatsukuri is the birthplace of magatama, and the Tamatsukuri Ruins preserve the remains of ancient magatama production sites. While only a few landmarks and informational signs remain, imagining ancient artisans crafting magatama here is awe-inspiring. There's also a small exhibition area where you can learn about the history and production process of magatama. History buffs, don't miss this! 💎 4. Tamatsukuri Fortress Ruins: A Panoramic View of Tamatsukuri 🏞️ Located on a small hill, this was a fortress of the Amago clan during the Sengoku period. Although only ruins remain and there's no castle tower, hiking up the trail rewards you with a panoramic view of Tamatsukuri Onsen and the surrounding countryside. The climb is a bit challenging, but the breathtaking scenery makes it all worthwhile! Highly recommended for history and nature lovers! ⛰️ Tips: - Wear comfortable shoes, as some areas require walking or climbing. - If you have time, spend half a day to a full day leisurely exploring these sites. Tamatsukuri is not just about its amazing hot springs; its rich historical and cultural heritage is equally captivating! Add these spots to your itinerary now! 📜

This time, we visited Tamatsukuri Onsen in Japan's San'in region! ✨ Known as the "Beauty Skin Hot Spring," soaking in it truly leaves your skin silky smooth, making you feel like the gentle heroine of a Japanese drama! 🧖♀️ 🌸 Onsen Section: The Magic of the Beauty Bath Tamatsukuri Onsen is most famous for its water quality, classified as a sulfate spring, which is said to be particularly beneficial for the skin, offering moisturizing and whitening effects. After soaking in it, the water felt incredibly comfortable—gentle and non-irritating. The onsen town features various styles of hot spring inns, and I chose one with an open-air bath. Soaking while admiring the beauty of a Japanese garden was the ultimate indulgence! 🌿 🛍️ Shopping Section: Treasure Hunting in the Onsen Town The onsen town itself is great for exploring, with many shops selling local specialty snacks and handmade crafts. I bought some skincare products made with onsen water and adorable magatama accessories, which make perfect souvenirs! There's also the "Tamatsukuri Shrine" in town, where you can pray for beautiful skin and good relationships! 🎎 📸 Photo Spots: Every Shot is a Scenic View The atmosphere of the onsen town is fantastic. Strolling around in a yukata, every snapshot captures the essence of Japanese charm. I especially recommend walking along the "Tamayu River." If the season is right, the cherry blossom trees lining the riverbanks and the rustic bridges create picturesque scenes that look like they belong in a magazine! 🌸 💖 Accommodation Tips: Transportation: You can reach Tamatsukuri Onsen by shuttle bus or taxi from JR Tamatsukuri Onsen Station. Booking: It's recommended to book your onsen inn in advance, especially the popular ones with unique baths. Experience: Besides soaking in the hot springs, try the foot baths in the onsen town or sample local snacks made with onsen water. If you want to experience Japan's onsen culture while achieving hydrated and radiant skin, Tamatsukuri Onsen is your top choice! Embark on a beauty journey now! 💖

First time in Shimane Prefecture I planned this trip because I wanted to go to Izumo Taisha Shrine, but there were so many other attractive places that 3 nights just wasn't enough! Trip with my daughter who is in elementary school. We went to Izumo Taisha Shrine first thing in the morning. We rented bicycles and went to Inasa Beach and Shimane Winery. Izumo soba is the best! We also had zenzai. In Matsue, we stayed at Shinjiko Onsen and went up to Matsue Castle. The cherry blossoms were beautiful. We also went to Vogel Park and were very satisfied. We just didn't have enough time. Finally, we went to Tamatsukuri Onsen! It's a small hot spring town, but it's famous for its hot springs that are good for your skin. It's a shame that we didn't have much time to stay there. It's far from Tokyo, but we were able to ride the Yakumo, and in Shimane we bought a 2-day free pass so we could use various means of transportation freely. We'll definitely go again. Recommended. It was a wonderful spring break that made me feel like I was traveling for the first time in a while.
