Izumo Taisha Shrine⛩️, known as the god of matchmaking
In Izumo, it is believed that gods from all over Japan gather during the month of October (according to the lunar calendar), and every November, many tourists visit the area.
The shrine is said to bring blessings not only for romantic relationships but also for childbearing, business prosperity, and more.
Among its many attractions, the stone statues of white rabbits 🐇, deeply connected to Daikokuten, are particularly popular. It is said that setting an image of these rabbits as your phone wallpaper might help your love come true!
This sacred place is definitely worth visiting at least once in your lifetime.
