About This Video
Located near Hamada city, in the southern part of Shimane prefecture, you will find the beautiful secluded Umikurasan Ryuun Temple. Established 1382 near what was once the Misumi Castle district of Hamada city. The Umikurasan Ryuun Temple was later relocated to its current location in 1441 and is now under the care of a young priest and his wife, Shinjo Nohara. Away from civilisation, the Umikurasan Ryuun Temple is the perfect place for anyone looking for peace as well as anyone interested in gorgeous Japanese temple architecture. Indeed, not only is the Umikurasan Ryuun Temple roof covered by Shimane’s unique to the region and famous orange Sekishu tiles, but its main hall also features a beautiful buddhist representation of a protective dragon on the ceiling.
