At 1126 metres, Mount Sanbe is one of the highest mountains in Shimane. It's great for hill-walking and camping. You can even do civilized 'Japanese-style camping' in cabins complete with kitchen, indoor bathroom, heating and air-conditioning. And if hiking up to 1126 metres seems too much, take the chair-lift to one of the peaks and enjoy a spectacular panorama. There's also a nature centre where visitors can learn more about local flora and fauna. There's even an onsen. And don't forget to try Sanbe Burgers, made with hamburger patties from local cattle. We'll be reviewing Sanbe's attractions in the next few weeks. So please check back soon.
