Izumo Taisha
Izumo Taisha is one of the most revered, ancient shrines in Japan, along with Ise jingu Shrine. Its records go as far back as writings from the Kojiki, Japan’ oldest historical account compiled in 712. The deity enshrined here is Okuninushi no Okami, who is known as the deity of love and marriage.。
This is one of the most famous and sacred shrines in Japan. The grand torii gate at the entrance is really impressive, and the shimenawa rope at the Kaguraden weighs a massive 5 tons—something you won't see anywhere else. There's a lot to see and appreciate at Izumo Taisha.
