Matsue, chief town of the prefecture of Shimane and the largest city in the historical region of San-in, lies near the northwest coast of Honshu on the River Ohashi, which links Lake Shinji to the west with the Nako-no-umi Lagoon to the east. The town became known through the work of the English writer Lafcadio Hearn, who lived here at the end of the 19th C and who helped by his writing to make Japan and Japanese culture better known to the Western World.
To the north of the town, on the Shimane Peninsula, is a hilly coastal region which forms part of the Daisen-Oki National Park.
