I will visit the Izumo Taisha Shrine in Shimane.

Izumo Taisha Shrine 🏯 〒699-0701 195 Kitsukihigashi, Taishacho, Izumo, Shimane Visiting Hours ⏰ Omamori 📿, Omikuji 🔮, Goshuin 📜 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM (as of May 11, 2023) Free parking available from 6:00 AM. This is a wonderful god who is said to bring blessings to all relationships as the god of matchmaking. After passing through the second torii gate, you will meet the main deity, Okuninushi-no-Mikoto. The worship method here is unique, with two bows, four claps, and one bow. The large rope at the Kagura-den hall is impressive and beautiful! Going there early in the morning when there are fewer people, and being able to worship slowly while basking in the morning sun was a very mystical experience. After passing through the approach, there is a copper torii gate. A local man told me that if you touch and turn this copper torii gate, your "money luck will improve," but according to the official Q&A, this is a fabrication and not a belief that has been around since ancient times at Izumo Taisha Shrine. #VisitingIzumoTaishaShrine #IzumoTaishaShrine #ShimaneSightseeing #ShimaneTravel #Shimane #DomesticTravel
