Japan village

Okawachiyama village is famous for its history as a secret pottery village, where craftsmen hid away centuries ago to perfect their craft.

Crossing the small stone bridge that leads to Okawachiyama, covered entirely in blue and white porcelain, time seems to stand still.

Welcome to San'in! This is Matsue, Shimane. Miho Shrine is a quiet little collection of traditional buildings quite literally across the street from a small bay on the Sea of Japan. Nestled at the center of a fishing village, it's no surprise that this shrine is dedicated to the god Ebisu, a jolly god known to carry a fishing rod and grant luck to Japan's fishermen. Perpendicular to the shrine is Aoishi-datami Road, a traditional little alley that looks like a scene from a historical film.
