Minamikan is a historic ryokan that was loved by famous writers such as Shimazaki Toson. You can fully experience the charms of Shimane, including the Japanese garden overlooking Lake Shinji. Of the unique guest rooms, the one we recommend is Lake and Garden Villa Mifumi. This private space, consisting of only two rooms in a detached building, is luxuriously spacious and elegant. It's a room you'll definitely want to stay in on a special trip with friends.

Many rooms have open-air baths! Bathing in onsen in your own space is a special experience. The view is of course outstanding. Lake Shinji, which you can see while bathing, changes its appearance every second, so you can gaze at it forever. It's a great idea to take a bath with friends and reminisce about fun times. It's famous for its skin-beautifying baths, so I'm looking forward to feeling how my skin feels after I bathe.

Minamikan, known as a "Japanese auberge," serves exquisite cuisine. The banquet dishes, which use plenty of local ingredients such as fresh seafood caught in the Sea of Japan, are all carefully selected dishes that incorporate Matsue's local cuisine. For breakfast, try Minamikan's proud "Taimeshi" (sea bream rice). Poured with a secret dashi broth, the taimeshi is flavorful and a luxurious dish to have in the morning. It's light and delicious, so eat lots of it in the morning to recharge your energy.
