Normally, access to Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, is by flight from Haneda Airport in Tokyo to Yonago or Izumo Airport. Ticket prices vary depending on the time of year. The cheapest time of year is about 13,000 yen one-way, while the most expensive time of year can be over 30,000 yen one-way. The price is higher during consecutive holidays and year-end and New Year holidays.

Ha! When you're ready to escape slavery in Tokyo, let me know. I'm preparing a place. Have you ever been to Onomichi?

Thank you for watching! If you take the limited express Azusa from Shinjuku to Matsumoto, a reserved seat ticket for the limited express is required in addition to the boarding fare. You can buy a reserved seat ticket for limited express trains at the JR Midori-no Madoguchi or a reserved seat ticket vending machine. It is easiest to purchase at the JR Midori-no-Madoguchi at Shinjuku Station. You can pay by cash or credit card.

@@tokyocuriosity thanks for the info, much appreciated.

@Invictus22656 There's also online ticket sales, a little more difficult but a little cheaper. Have a nice trip.

Thank you for watching video! I am sorry for late reply. Sightseeing in Matsumoto is better with a car. Matsumoto is a car-oriented society, so parking is not a problem. Depending on the facility, you may have to pay for parking, but it will probably cost between 500 and 1,000 yen. If you stay at a hotel, you can park your car for about 1000 yen or even for free.

Thanks for watching the video:) And I will use the advice you gave me in my next video!

Thank you for your comment! Tickets can be purchased at the JR Midori-no-Madoguchi or Shinkansen ticket vending machines. Midori-no-madoguchi and ticket vending machines are available at major stations on the JR Yamanote Line, so if you have enough time, you can purchase tickets as soon as you arrive in Japan.

@@tokyocuriosity Thank you so much 😍😍

@mathstrickerwithfaca I don't know if I can advise you, but please email me👉cstokyocuriosity@gmail.com

The hottest time of the year will be about 35 degrees Celsius. It's fine if it's just hot, but Japan's humidity can make the heat unbearable. Watch the video and warm up. lol

@roketman3770 Thank you for your comment! I am not familiar with Hagi, but Matsue is a good choice for those who want a relaxing trip. Have you already visited Japan several times? You will find the countryside quite different from Tokyo or Osaka.

@@tokyocuriosity I have been to Japan a few times, namely - Tokyo, Gunma (Kusastsu onsen), Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Kagoshima, Sakurajima, Okinawa and the smaller islands Ishigaki, Miyakojima. That was before Corona though. This time around, I have a month and a rough sketch of where to visit. I got the 21 day JR pass, but open to fly if needed. I was thinking of visiting Tohoku (Aomori, Akita, Morioka), Hokkaido (Hakodate, Sapporo, Nobo), and/or other less trekked places like Miyazaki, Matsue, Beppu, Chiba? I guess I would prefer more of a smaller city feel, try out a nice ryokan, prioritizing good food, buying some artisanware (like Matsue tea goods haha), and not a completely remote inaka/akiya trip lol. I would prefer to refrain from driving if possible (less logistics), but I can if needed. I also have a motorcycle license if riding is better. I am not firm with present plans, and open to any suggestions! Sorry if this turned out to be a reddit post 🤣

@@rocketman3770 hey it's me on my other YT account (YT premium) haha. I ended up visiting Matsue and it was awesome! I did the boat tour around the castle, ate some good food, drank tea and ate wakashi sweets. Surprisingly, most if not all teas in Matsue are not even made or processed in Matsue 😂 They are often from Kyoto, and other areas. I had confirmed with the storekeepers. In fact, one shop (the oldest one in Matsue) even told me that Matsue's tea is bitter and Kyoto tea is more 甘い, so it is better 😂 I had stayed at Onyado Nono, and the whole experience was so relaxing. Sadly, as you stated, these smaller cities have a drought of young professionals. Sendai is also quite empty after 9PM, but likely for different reasons. I am on my way to Hokkaido next before finishing off in Tokyo. Thanks again for your video, it was super insightful and I didn't have to look up VLOGs for 松江市 😅

Thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you commented! It is difficult to answer your question, but Kyoto, Tokyo and Okinawa are special cities for me and I am sure you will discover something new again and again. The place I would like to visit again is definitely the Ogasawara Islands. It's a 25 hour ferry ride from Tokyo, but there's no other island I've visited as a tourist and been so impressed by the nature, the culture, and the people!

@@tokyocuriosity Wow you have good taste! I just looked up the Ogasawara Islands and my jaw dropped. I've always been intrigued with the vastness of Yakushima Island (south of Kagoshima and inspired the film Princess Mononoke), and now I'm considering adding this to my Japan travel guide for the future thanks to you lol

Yakushima is definitely nice too! It's the very world of Princess Mononoke, and there are deer and monkeys around. lol Trekking is of course a must, but I was also impressed by the hatching of the sea turtles. I stayed at the following guest house and got a free tour. I hope you come to Japan and have fun:) 民宿いなか浜 0997-45-2233 goo.gl/maps/9sqtv2oxaJnjrEo39
