This is day 4 of our first Japan Road trip. Where we started our day at YONAGO, we stayed in ANA Crown Plaza Hotel which is only 6 minutes walk to the based of YONAGO castle ruin. Since this trip was intended to be a road trip, we have not seen most of the city.
After we seeing the Castle Ruin, we head on to SAKAIMINATO our way towards Shimane Prefecture, also I was very intrigue by Eshima Grand Bridge. It wasn't steep as it was as you can see on online photos, ( it was look like steep inclined from far, when you are looking from Matsue side ( Shimane side) of the bridge, the photos you have seen online are taken from far using a powerful or long lense cameras. Nevertheless the Bridge still looks good!
We head on towards, Shimane prefecture to Unnan City, its a quaint little friendly town, which I intend to visit again during Cherry Blossoms, very picturesque town too, even without the Sakura charms, Hii river flows in this city (Hiikawa).
The coastal road of Shimane are site to behold, we just cant stop over as it was predicted to rain. Japan have the amazing national road system, tunnels and the sights of lush forest, mountains, valleys in between tunnel roads are just amazing! There are plenty of onsen along the way ( located on the mountains & valleys) , spas, which we will surely try next time.
Then we head on to a very long non stop drive towards MASUDA to rest for the night, and continue the road trip the next day.

Doing a road trip in Japan, makes me realized how Japanese rebuild their country after WW2, their passion in connecting everyone, everywhere in their country, (by those amazing roads, tunnels, train tracks) I also notice how they preserve or take care of their wild life, nature at its best ( very diverse, lush)
Just so much fun road tripping!
See you on day 5 of our road trip!
