How to Get ThereThe airports close to the symposium venue are Izumo Airport and Yonago Airport. But, these airports have few international connections, and thus Haneda Airport or Narita International Airport is convenient to get to Japan.
Haneda Airport has many domestic flights to Izumo and Yonago Airports, but Narita International Airpot has neither domestic flight to Izumo nor Yonago Airport. Limousine Bus and Express Train from Narita to Haneda are available.
The Izumo airport also has domestic flights from Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka airports, but the Haneda airport would be more convenient because of the number of flights. The Yonago airport has only flights from the Haneda airport.

About Matsue
Matsue is the capital city of Shimane Prefecture, in Southwest Japan.
Known as the "City of Water," Matsue stands by the Sea of Japan where
Lake Shinji and Nakaumi meet, in the middle of Shimane Peninsula.
A former feudal stronghold, Matsue is a true castle town crossed with
many canals and boasts one of the twelve remaining original castles
in Japan. Famous for its beautiful sunsets over Lake Shinji, Matsue
also prides itself on having been the adopted home of the writer
Lafcadio Hearn, who became one of the first Westerners to take
Japanese citizenship under the name of Koizumi Yakumo.
As an International City of Culture and Tourism, Matsue offers great
sightseeing opportunities and welcomes international tourists with
significant discounts. Matsue and its surrounding areas are rich in
cultural assets and historical sites, and many of Japan's most
ancient legends are set in the area.
Matsue City Centre is bisected by the Ohashi River, and many places
of interest that are easily accessible on foot from Matsue Station
are concentrated in this area. For example, Lake Shinji is one
kilometer away from the station and Matsue Castle is two
kilometers.
The north side is where the Castle and its surrounding moats are.
There, in addition to visiting the castle, you can enjoy a
cruise around it on the Horikawa Sightseeing Boat and
experience old Japan on a picturesque traditional Japanese street
(Shiomi Nawate Street), among many other places to visit.
The south side is home to many Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples,
as well as the Shimane Art Museum, located on the shore of Lake
Shinji.
