Only a minute to get to Matsue Castle. If you are interested in some morning walk, walk around castle is the best spot to go. In order to get to the restaurant district, it takes a 5 to 10 minutes by walk. Matsue ONSEN Hot spring is 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes by bus. Major bus stop is a few minutes away from KIAN.
