From Matsue Castle Park Front Hotel, a 7-minute walk leads to Shiratori no Mori, a secluded grove surrounded by ancient trees, where fireflies emerge in summer and snow-draped bamboo reflects on still ponds in winter. Just 5 minutes further lies Sanjō Sakura Bridge, transformed into a pink tunnel during cherry blossom season—perfect for capturing the castle’s reflection. Nearby, Tsudagawa Riverside features picnic zones and a tiny reading hut nestled among willows. These off-the-beaten-path locations are not widely advertised, but guests HopeGoo via the HopeGoo platform receive a complimentary "Hidden Trails Map" to explore them with ease.
