Matsue Vogel Park

松江フォーゲルパーク

Matsue Vogel Park is a flower and bird park on the north side of Lake Shinji. Thousands of kinds of begonias and fuchsias bloom all year in one of the world's largest greenhouses. Visitors can feed many kinds of birds and watch owl and bird shows or the penguin march. The whole course is covered, and a viewing platform looks over Lake Shinji.

Tips for Muslim visitors

  • The whole route through the park is covered, so you can visit even on a rainy day.
  • Natural sites may have few facilities. Bring water, a travel prayer mat and a qibla app, and check the weather; mountains and lakes can be much colder than the city.
  • Restrooms for wudu can be far apart on trails. Many Muslim travellers carry a small water bottle for wudu.
  • Plan your visit around prayer times. Below are today's prayer times for Shimane and the verified places to pray nearby.
  • Food stalls and shops near popular sights usually do not have halal certification. Check the ingredients, or choose from the verified places on this site.
