Helpfulness
The temple and cemetery of the Matsudaira family, it is the resting place of nine generations of the clan. The site is notable because each grave is marked by a gate created by a master craftsman of the era and so, visitors can see the evolution of Japanese architectural art. There is giant stone turtle which, according to legend, rampages around Matsue at night. Visitors put coins on it's head for good luck. Highlight of our visit was the lovely old lady/caretaker who came to tell us the place was closing. She gave us free tea. Arigatou gozaimasu!
To get here is a 15 minute walk west from Matsue castle, or take a Lake Line bus and get off at stop#14
