[Shimane Prefecture/Izumo Taisha] 14 Shrines in Shimane Prefecture that are worth visiting in 2023!

Izumo Taisha is famous as a place of matchmaking.
Okuninushi handed over the country he had built to Amaterasu Omikami.
In return, he had the large palace built for him, which is Izumo Taisha.

During the month of the gods,
the eight million gods gather here and decide on various relationships in a meeting called the "Kamuhari."

On the very vast grounds, you can see many stone statues of rabbits, which are the divine messengers of Okuninushi.

Also, if you receive a prayer,
you can enter the Tamagaki fence of the Hachisokumon Gate, allowing you to greet the gods from up close.

There are many different shrines here, but
this is one place you should visit and worship at least once in your life.
