Yasugi, Historic city in Shimane Prefecture, Japan

Located in eastern Shimane Prefecture, Yasugi extends over 420 square kilometers between the Nakaumi Lake and the Chugoku Mountains near Tottori Prefecture.

The region developed as a trading center during the Yayoi period, establishing connections with the Korean Peninsula through its strategic port location.

The Adachi Museum of Art displays Japanese paintings and maintains gardens that received national recognition for their meticulous design and presentation.

The city maintains 17 elementary schools, 5 junior high schools, and 2 high schools, serving the educational needs of 35,965 residents across 14,257 households.

Yasugi preserves the heritage of tatara steelmaking, an ancient technique that transformed local iron sand and timber resources into high-quality metal products.
