Matsue - November 25 2014

Our Ryokan is awesome. We were served breakfast both mornings. It was delicious and more than we could eat. 


Waking through Matsue we spotted some fresh fish and octopus  

We had to take a train and then a shuttle to get here but so worth it. The place is called Adachi. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been too.

After arriving back in Matsue we took a little stroll up to Matsue castle. One of the few castles in Japan that is not rebuilt from being destroyed by fire or from WWII.  It was quite impressive.

We kept running into these two ladies the entire day, so we got a photo of them.




Inside the castle. We couldn't wear our shoes inside which made these steep stairs challenging to navigate. 



Huge koi

For dinner we stopped at this very small sushi restaurant. Very quaint with Japanese style tables. No shoes, sitting on the floor, perfect. 


I drank some very warm sake. So good. 

Everyone except Kim got the sushi set. 

Kim got ebi sushi and tempura. 

The chef gave us a bowl of clams.
