Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine
Famous for being one of the most important Shinto shrines in the country, Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine is home to Ōkuninushi, the god of “en-musubi” (human connections and relationships).
It is said that once a year, gods from all over the country gather here to discuss “en-musubi” and determine people’s future relationships. Because of this, many people visit the shrine to pray for good relationships.
Inasanohama Beach is the site where the traveling gods first arrive in Izumo. The beach is only 20 minutes walk from Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine, and features a beautiful sunset.
