Visit a shrine of matchmaking and the Mirror Pond.

Yaegaki Shrine in Matsue enshrines Susanoo and Inatahime. Choose a shrine visit and a walk to the Mirror Pond in the inner sanctuary, allowing travel time from central Matsue.

Sights

Visit the shrine grounds

Worship at the shrine and visits to the treasure repository are separate activities. Check reception for amulets and visits, and use the grounds map as you explore.

Head to the Mirror Pond

The Mirror Pond in the inner sanctuary can be combined with a shrine visit. If you want to try matchmaking divination, check paper and visiting instructions on site and in official information.

Getting here

Check access by bus and other transport from Matsue Station. The shrine is outside walking distance of the Matsue Castle district, so plan travel to the shrine and your return separately.
