Overview of your Matsue tour:

First we will visit the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum and his former residence adjacent to it, where we will learn about his life in Matsue, his works, what he wanted to convey, and his entire life. We will then visit some of his favorite places described in his essays. These include the path around the castle where he often took walks, and the Inari Shrine along the path. We will also visit the Kamosu Shrine and the Yaegaki Shrine, which attracted Hearn because of his love of Izumo mythology.
