OMG! I drew an SSR-level peach blossom fortune slip at the Izumo "Shrine Office"!

Please, everyone, stop focusing on Kyoto! This is the *real* hidden gem of Japan! When traveling to 🇯🇵, don't miss Izumo City. In just one day, you can unlock the hidden secrets of the "Land of the Gods." It has mountains, seas, and perhaps, destiny... 📍【Trip Highlights】 1️⃣ Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine: The Gathering Place of Gods ➡️ The way to worship here is unique! Remember "two bows, four claps, one bow," two more claps than at regular shrines.👏 Try tossing a coin under the giant shimenawa rope at the Kaguraden Hall. If it doesn't fall, good luck is on your way!🍀 ➡️ The 19 small shrines on both sides of the main hall are said to be "resting places for the gods," adding a touch of mystery! 2️⃣ Power Spots: The Thousand-Year-Old Sacred Tree and the Hidden Waterfall ➡️ The "Inochi-nushi Shrine" within the grounds houses a thousand-year-old sacred tree. Touch its trunk and feel the spiritual energy flow.✨ The "Kame-no-o Waterfall" to the east is secluded and beautiful, said to enhance romantic luck.💘 3️⃣ Izumo-Exclusive Experience: Shimenawa Bracelet Making ➡️ At the "Enmusubi Workshop" along the approach, you can weave traditional straw bracelets and hair accessories (takes about 30 minutes). Create your own unique token of connection! 🍜【Foodie Delights】 ▪️ Izumo Soba Noodles: The "Warigo Soba" is a must-try! We recommend "Arakikan," a 230-year-old establishment. The noodles are translucent and chewy, perfect with their secret sauce! ▪️ Chocoholic's Paradise: Okinogami Blue Cacao's iced chocolate drink + baked chocolate is slightly bitter and not too sweet, perfect for a photo-worthy treat! ⚠️ Note: Most shops on the main street close at 4pm, so get there early if you want to try these! 📸【Picture-Perfect Spots】 ✨ The Path of the Gods: Take a morning walk from Izumo Taisha to Inasa Beach. Along the way, you'll encounter Bentenjima Shrine. At low tide, small crabs appear on the beach.🦀 The Japanese fresh aesthetic is in full effect! ✨ Tamatsukuri Onsen: Magical Evening Mixed Bathing: In the evening, visit "Chorakuen," a century-old onsen ryokan. Soak in the 120-tsubo "Ryugu-no-Yu" (Dragon Palace Bath), surrounded by mist like a fairyland (Yukata provided free of charge, even for the socially anxious)! 🚗【Practical Tips】 ✅ Transportation: Take the Taisha Line from JR Izumo City Station to the last stop. The shrine is a 5-minute walk from there. To get to Tamatsukuri Onsen, transfer to another train for a 30-minute ride. ✅ Outfit: Rent a kimono and stroll around the old Izumo City Station (the Taisho-era architecture is perfect for photos). Lighter colors photograph best! ✅ Hidden Bonus: Visit during "Kannazuki" (October in the lunar calendar) to witness the gathering of all the gods of Japan. Your luck will be off the charts!
