At the North coast we stopped for lunch at the scenic Cape Hinomisaki with a great view towards the Japanese Sea.

Another 20 minutes later we were delighted by Japanese hospitality: we stopped by one of Mr. Kawakado’s motorcycle shops and admired the collection of vintage bikes there, having tea and sweeties.

After our arrival in the hotel in Matsue, we enjoyed the “Onsen”, the hot spa of our lodging – a relaxing time in hot water with a splendid view to the lake and looking forward to another great dinner. This is Japan from its best side…
