A Profile of Shimane University
Shimane University was founded in 1949 as a national university with two faculties: the Faculty of
Literature and Science which was made up of Matsue Higher School (originally founded in1920),
and the Faculty of Education which was made up of Shimane General School (originally founded in
1875), Shimane General School for Youth (originally founded in 1933).
Shimane and Shimane Medical Universities amalgamated on October 1, 2003. The new Shimane
University has two main campuses, and consists of seven faculties. Law and Literature, Education,
Human Sciences, Materials for Energy, Life and Environmental Sciences, and the Interdisciplinary
Faculty of Science and Engineering are housed at the Matsue campus, and the Faculty of Medicine
is based at the Izumo campus. The combined Shimane University now has more than 2000 staff and
6050 students, including 178 international students as of April 1, 2023.
Shimane University now has four graduate schools (Humanities and Social Science, Education,
Medical Research, and Natural Science and Technology), and three doctorate graduate schools
(Medical Research, Natural Science and Technology, and the United Graduate School of
Agricultural Science). In addition, the university also operates several other research centers,
facilities and hospitals.
In addition to undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students, there are several other
categories of students comprising auditors, special auditors, and research students.
Since its establishment, Shimane University has endeavored to cultivate persons of ability who will
contribute to the development of society. With this in mind and its historical background, the
university aspires to be an international university open to the South‐East Asia and Pacific Rim
regions. Shimane University has Academic Exchange Agreements with 103 institutes in 27
countries/regions as of July 14, 2023.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO MATSUE CITY
Matsue City, with a population of about 200,000, lies some 800 kilometers to the west of Tokyo,
from where it can be reached in one and a half hours by plane, or six and a half hours by train.
Located in the eastern part of Shimane Prefecture, the city is the seat of the prefectural government,
and is the political, economic and cultural center of the region.
It is a beautiful city, well-known from ancient times as the “town of water”, with the large lakes of
“Nakaumi” and “Shinjiko” on the eastern and the western borders of the city respectively. This
region, which is traditionally called the “Province of Izumo,” was one of the most prosperous
cultural centers in ancient Japan, with local government established in Matsue as far back as the
sixth century. A considerable number of the old town's relics are still found in and around the city.
Since Matsue Castle was built in 1611, Matsue has enjoyed prosperity as a castle town and
developed as the political, economic and cultural center of the province. Even today, original
structures, such as Matsue Castle, the Samurai House, and the waterways running through the
city, are still in original condition.
Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), an Irish journalist and writer, was sent to Matsue by Harper's in 1890.
He was so enchanted by this old castle town during his 15 month stay that he married into an old
samurai family. In 1896 he was naturalized as a Japanese citizen and took the Japanese name
“Koizumi Yakumo”. Famous among his writings are Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Kwaidan, and
Japan: An Attempt at Interpretation. Matsue City keeps his old residence as it used to be, and next
to it stands the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum which was rebuilt in 1984 in Japanese style.
Even today citizens of Matsue still have a strong attachment to Lafcadio Hearn.
In 1951, Matsue was designated an “International Cultural and Sightseeing City”, one of three such
cities in Japan, together with Kyoto and Nara. Matsue, known as an international town which has
maintained its time-honored traditions, attracts a great many tourists from abroad as well as from
various parts of Japan. In recent years the city has seen rapid urbanization, and the streets, still
rich in the atmosphere characteristic of a castle town, are changing their appearance. Urbanization
represents a new start for the central city of the San-in district and promises a bright future.
The climate of the Matsue area is rather mild throughout the year, with an average yearly
temperature around 14℃. In the summer the temperature averages around 26℃, with some very
hot days over 30℃ in the middle or latter part of the season. In the winter the temperature, on the
average, is somewhere around 4℃. During the winter the weather tends to be rainy with strong
north-westerly winds, but only light snowfalls.
