A small island, floating in the calm lake Nakaumi.
Time seems to flow slowly on this small island that can be
circled in 30 minutes by car.
What started as a leisurely drive against the soothing breeze,suddenly became a breathtakingly beautiful view, filled withcolor and flowers.
I couldn't help but feel excited about what was to come.

1 ｜ Shimane's Prefectural Flower: Peony

At the peony garden, I was welcomed by great
blooming peonies.
Red, white, yellow, purple ...
I never knew peonies came in so many colors.
I enjoyed a stroll through an elegant garden,
and took a quick break at a cafe.
I kept driving so that I might meet more
peonies.

Peony dyeing

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

In 1991, 30 volunteers from Yatsuka began the "Peony Dyeing Study Group." They
went to Kyoto for training and held their own study sessions, cultivated materials
and dyes, and developed products dyed using peony flowers.
In 2008, the company changed its name to "Daikonshima Dyeing Studio" and beganselling peony-dyed products, for which it also obtained a trademark registration.
Peony petals are picked at their best state, when the flower begins to bloom, and areturned into a natural dye.

5. Japanese Garden Yushien

Daikonshima boasts the highest
production of this beautiful flower
which colors the island.
The peony, symbol of both Matsue City and Shimane
Prefecture, was first brought to Yatsuka about 300 years
ago, when a priest of Zenryu-ji Temple visited Mt.
Akiha (in modern day Shizuoka Prefecture), and tookpeonies home for medicinal purposes and planted themin the temple grounds.
Peony cultivation spread among local farmers and,around 1955, a new technique was developed where
peony buds were transplanted into Chinese peony
6

seedlings. Cultivation increased, and the wives of
farmers began to travel around Japan to sell peonybuds.
Yatsuka's peonies are now exported overseas and arehighly valued in places such as Europe, the UnitedStates, and Taiwan.
From late April to early May, large peony flowers
with a diameter of 20-30cm bloom colorfully andbeautifully, earning the title "king of flowers".

Peony Flower Competition
Flowers in their best condition, lovingly
bloomed by growers, are exhibitedand awards are given for outstanding
peonies and new varieties as voted by
the general public.
With 300-350 flowers on display eachday, it is the largest display of cut
flowers each year.

Farmers on Daikonshima also cultivate peonies which
bloom in winter.
"Winter-blooming peony" refers to peonies which
typically only bloom in spring but are specially treatedwith artificial growth delay techniques so that they will
bloom in winter. On the other hand, "Winter peony"
is a two-season variety of peony that blooms in bothspring and winter, though it has the peculiarity of not
sprouting leaves in winter.

An island of flowers in Nakaumi. It is one of thelargest Japanese gardens in the San-in region,
centred around a large pond, where peonies andother seasonal flowers bloom.

Peonies have taken root as symbols of Daikonshima,
with many local products made from them, such as
flower-based dyes.
There are many facilities on the island where visitors
can view and even purchase peonies.
In addition, the Daikonshima Peony Festival, held fromlate April to early May, is a popular event that attracts
many tourists to see countless blooming peonies.

Most of Yatsuka is farmland.
Ginseng has long been a specialty. Harvested six years
after planting, ginseng dries fields of nutrients and afield must be left untouched for 15 years before ginseng
can be grown there again.
The ginseng produced here is called "Unshu Ginseng"and is highly regarded in overseas markets as one of theworld's finest ginseng products.
In Japan, it is mainly processed
into powder or extract, and is
widely used as a nourishing andtonic agent.

History of Unshu Ginseng
The cultivation began during the Tempo period (18301844) when the Matsue Domain established ginseng
farms under the direct control of the domain, and the

Because they are cultivated by suspending
them in the sea, there is no muddy smell

islanders were recruited to work in the fields.
Later, when the clan permitted private cultivation, thearea used for planting ginseng expanded.
Although most of the cultivation areas that had
spread across the country have disappeared, theUnshu Ginseng of Yatsuka is one of the threemajor producers of ginseng in Japan, along with
the Shinshu Ginseng of Nagano Prefecture and the
Aizu Ginseng of Fukushima Prefecture, and is the
only producer in the prefecture.

4 ｜ Take a walk around the island

A mystery created by the earth;
Understanding the formation of
Daikonshima Island.

Daikonshiima is a flat island formed from basalt
volcanic rocks from an eruption approximately 200,000
years ago.
Because basalt lava flows easily, the terrain of
Daikonshima is gently sloping, like a plate lying facedown.
The highest peak on the island, 42-meter-high Mt.
Otsuka, is made of reddish-brown, pitted volcanic
scoria. It was the location of the crater that formed
Daikonshima and Eshima.

There are two lava tunnels on the island, which aredesignated as Natural Monuments.
A heart-shaped reef can be seen on the coastal side of
Benten Island.
This is believed to be the result of wave erosion of a
volcanic landform called a chumulus, which is a domeshape caused by new lava entering a volcanic rockformation when the surface of the lava was solidified
but the interior was not.

Daikonshima and Eshima are technically the same volcanic island, bothcreated by an eruption 200,000 years ago.
On Daikonshima, there are two lava tunnels, formed by lava flows, whichhave been designated National Natural Monuments.
Daikonshima is in an area certified as a Japanese Geopark in December
2009, and the lava tunnels, scoria hill (Mt. Otsuka), and spring water(Hanyu Bay Water Park) are designated geological and geomorphologicalsites.
Other features of the landscape such as spring water and basalt rocks tell
the story of volcanic activity can also be seen throughout the island.

Nationally Designated Special Natural Monument

Yukido■ 31 July 1931 Natural Monument designation■ 29 March 1952 Special Natural Monument designation
The entrance seems to have been a large cavity with a large
gas pool, and there are traces of collapse due to gas escaping
from the ceiling.
Due to safety concerns, entry to the cave is prohibited except
for academic research and other activities as approved by the
Cultural Heritage Division.

Shrines and temples.

Kannon-ji Temple (Hanyu)
It is believed that this temple is an offshoot of the Toda area's
Iwakura-ji Temple and was originally called Soko-ji before changing
name to Kannon-ji. The ceiling painting of the main hall is a must-see.

The shrines and temples on Daikonshima
and Eshima are important storytellers of
the islands' histories.
You can unwind the history of Yatsuka
by visiting these special sites.

Nationally Desinated Natural Monument

Ryukeido■ 7 June 1935 designation
This lava cave was accidentally discovered in 1932 during
road construction. Because of its unusual shape, it wasnamed "Ryukeido" (Dragon Valley Cave) as if it were theabode of the Dragon God.
The caves are home to some of the world's rarest cave
creatures, with eyes lost to denegeration, who are currenly
the subject of academic research.

Zenkei-ji Temple(Futago)Zenryu-ji Temple(Hanyu)The place of worship of mostof north Yatsuka. Known for its
impressive main building.

A temple with origins in the
castle town of the now ruined
Gassan Toda Castle. The
original temple introduced peony
cultivation to Daikonshima.

Tako Shrine (Eshima)
The same shrine is reportedly
described in the Izumo-no-Kuni
Fudoki chronology. Originally it
was on Daikonshima ( formerly
Tako Island ) but moved to Eshima( formerly Mukade Island ) .
The lanterns made from volcanic
rock are a highlight.

An island by the coast. Nicknamed "theYomegashima of Nakaumi". The flocks ofwaterfowl and the green pine trees combine
to soothe the hearts of all who see it.

As I look at the island in the distance, I think
about all the encounters I experienced.
Beautiful flowers, rich nature, encounterswith friendly islanders…
"I'll see you again," I muttered to myself as
these treasures begin to turn into beautiful
memories.
