Brunch at a lighthouse and fresh catch for lunch. Mihonoseki, Shimane Japan

Located on the eastern tip of the Shimane peninsula is the small little port town, Mihonoseki. We drove 45 min from central Matsue city to check out the sights for a day. We started at the lighthouse where we had a small brunch at the lighthouse buffet, then we went to the harbor to check out a local fish drying their days catch and getting a fresh seafood lunch. Off to a local cafe and then a stroll along Aoishi-datami street checking out fish, sake, and shoyu shops. We also visited a very old ryokan and watched the afternoon service at the local shrine.
