Horikawa sightseeing boat by Matsue Castle

See Matsue's castle town from the water.

This sightseeing boat travels along Matsue Castle's moats, offering a different perspective from a town walk. Distinguish the map's representative point from your actual boarding point, and check reception for your chosen service.

Sights

Choose a boarding point

Boarding points are Fureai Hiroba, Otemae Hiroba and Karakoro Hiroba. Scheduled services and reception conditions vary, so choose your boarding point using the official information.

Combine a boat ride and a walk

A standard circuit takes about 50 minutes. Combine it with walks around Matsue Castle and Shiomi Nawate, allowing for waiting time before boarding.

Getting here

Reach each boarding point by city bus and walking from Matsue Station. Check the boat's departure point when choosing your route; it is different from the castle keep.
