Soothe your tired feet at the free foot bath in front of the final station
About this spot
The final station of Ichinomiya Railway, and stepping onto the platform marks your arrival at the gateway to Matsue's hot spring district. A free foot bath, open to anyone, awaits at the station plaza, and soaking your tired feet from a day of walking in its warm waters dissolves the pleasant fatigue of your train journey. Nearby, the Lake Shinji waterfront is renowned as a sunset viewing spot, and when the lake surface glows madder red, it's the perfect moment to cap off your journey. You can stroll along the lake shore, watch the trains come and go, and savor the lingering memories until departure time. Convenient bus connections make it easy to transfer to Matsue city center.
Tips
The foot bath is free, but be sure to bring your own towel. If you're aiming for sunset, look up the sunset time and head to the lakeside a bit early. You can transfer to JR Matsue Station by bus in about 15 minutes from the station front.
