In this special episode of EIC On The Move, Raul Manzano veers off the beaten path by visiting San’In, the birthplace of Ancient Japan. History and culture are steeped in this largely underrated part of the Land of the Rising Sun, and Raul makes it his mission to get to the heart of this beautifully unspoilt region.
He starts his journey in Shimane, home to Matsue Castle, a fortress that counts itself among the remaining 12 original castles in Japan. From there, Raul dives headfirst into Shimane’s local culture: from offering prayers and wishes in the many shrines dotting the Shimane landscape to basking in the serene atmosphere of Japan’s most beautiful zen garden, learning the delicate art of wagashi, and discovering the region’s gastronomic delights. With his tightly packed itinerary, Raul’s trip to Shimane culminates in a lavish soak at the Tamatsukuri Onsen, known for its hot spring waters’ rejuvenating powers, and a cruise on Lake Shinji, one of Japan’s most picturesque sunset spots. From start to finish, this episode is a reminder of the beauty of traveling to undiscovered destinations.
