Stepping into the Adachi Museum of Art, you can admire the exquisite Japanese garden through the large, bright windows. As time passes, the scenery changes beautifully with the light.
The museum also has a wonderful collection of valuable modern Japanese paintings, and the garden art complements the exhibits perfectly. My favorite was the children's paintings, and I ended up buying quite a few museum shop items.
If you're visiting Shimane, it's a good idea to check the official website for opening hours and directions in advance and plan for a truly art-filled experience.

The wooden interior of Mojiko Station has a romantic, retro Taisho-era vibe. I was taking side shots of the station restroom 😁 and got distracted by the water fountain next to it. There’s also a Starbucks inside the station where you can take a break.
The banana man in Mojiko is a must-photo spot. I heard it has some connection to Taiwanese bananas. One black and one yellow, they look super cool in the sunlight.
This place is full of the unique charm of a port city. You can also stroll through the nostalgic streets and visit European-style buildings like the former Moji Mitsui Club and the International Friendship Memorial Library. -

Kanmon Bridge was wrapped in clouds and mist. It's a key transportation link connecting Honshu and Kyushu, and the Kanmon Straits run below it. There's also an undersea tunnel you can walk through.
Shimonoseki is the hometown of former Prime Minister Abe, and I unexpectedly came across his authentic calligraphy while dining at a restaurant. -

When I got to Shimonoseki, my first stop was Karato Market. The fresh fugu sashimi was sliced paper-thin, and there was also nigiri sushi and a huge variety of seafood on display.
But honestly, all I really wanted was a photo with the fugu. -
