The area called Shiomi-nawate is an area lined with the residences of intermediate samurai during the Edo period.
Shiomi-nawate-dori Street is a street in a castle town that was developed by the lord of Matsue Castle, Horio Yoshiharu, over four years from 1607.
Shiomi-nawate no nawate means a road that stretches like a rope.
The name of Shiomi was later given to Kohei Shiomi, who had temporarily received this samurai residence.
In honor of his advancement, this street came to be called Shiomi-nawate.

The Samurai residence on the blackboard wall and the old pines on the edge of the moat are very beautiful.
I had a meaningful and enjoyable time just wandering around without any purpose.

It has also been selected as one of the 100 best roads in Japan.

Convenience is a major factor here, as well as atmosphere. Easy access to places associated with the Edo era (Matsue Castle, Samurai Residence (Buke Yashiki), Meimei-an tea house, History Museum and Horan-enya Memorial Hall), Lafcadio Hearn (Memorial Hall and former residence), or local classic culture (places to get tea, soba, gifts, or the Tanabe art museum). Easy access on the Lake Line bus, and lots of discounts available with foreign passport.

This street, situated around the castle, has lots of interesting stores selling souvenirs. Among them, I would like to recommend tourists to go to the stores which has a souvenirs with jewels and rabbit-shaped souvenirs, which are actually very cute and memorable.
Besides, since it is situated around the castle which has a fascinating view, you can also enjoy the nice view there. I strongly recommend tourists to go the castle as well as this street, and both have nice view for sure.

This street lies to the north-east of Matsue Castle and goes along its moat, with old samurai houses and Lafcadio Hearn's house. There are a couple of bridges leading to the castle park, enjoy a nice walk thru a little bamboo and pine forest

A picturesque street with preserved houses that runs along the castle moat. The Hearn Museum and former residence and the Buke Yashiki (former Samurai House) are located in this street.

This street runs along the castle moat on the north side of Matsue-jo (if you are coming from the castle take the Inari-bashi bridge near the Jyozan Inari shrine) and apart from the preserved former samurai homes (Including Buke Yashiki) and other buildings on the north side of the street, there are also beautiful old pines propped out over the water. It was a lovely place to walk around whilst waiting for the bus.
