[Shimane Prefecture] Inasa Beach, a sacred beach where the eight million gods are welcomed

Located west of Izumo Taisha Shrine in Shimane Prefecture, Inasa Beach is a power spot that has been associated with the ancient myths of the transfer of the country and the pulling of the country! There is a small island called Benten Island on the beach, with a particularly conspicuous torii gate, which was once located far offshore in the bay. The shrine behind the torii gate enshrines Toyotamahime-no-mikoto, a famous god of the sea. This place has also been selected as one of the 100 best beaches in Japan, and the view of the sun setting behind Benten Island is amazing, and it is registered as a Japanese Heritage site as the "sacred land of the sun setting, Izumo". This time, it was at dusk. I would like to visit there 😳 It is also the place where the Kamimukae Shinto ceremony is held to welcome the eight million gods from all over Japan on the 10th of October in the lunar calendar, so it is an essential place for a journey through mythology. *The moment I arrived here, the light rain that had been falling until then suddenly stopped, so I felt some kind of connection 😌 -—————————————— [Access 🚃] About a 15-minute walk from Ichibata Electric Railway's "Izumo Taisha-mae Station" -————————————— #Domestic travel #Shimane prefecture #Trip to Shimane #Trip to Shimane #Shimane sightseeing #Izumo #Izumo sightseeing #Inasa beach #Shinto ritual beach #Japanese mythology #Top 100 beaches in Japan #Japanese heritage #Benten Island #Sunset spot #Camera trip #SLR #Canoneoskissx9i #I love traveling #Travel record #Travel record #Cut-out world #Travel in Japan #Where should we go next? #japan #japantravel #shimane #Enjoy Japan
