[Izumo, Shimane] The best matchmaking spot ✨ Izumo Taisha Shrine

Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture. I visited Izumo Taisha, famous for matchmaking. The main deity of Izumo Taisha is Okuninushi no Okami, familiarly known as Daikokusama. He is worshipped as the god of matchmaking, family prosperity, and business prosperity. It is said that gods from all over the country gather at the Kamiari Festival, which is held every October, and people who visit Izumo Taisha are overwhelmed by the power of the festival. Izumo Taisha is also known especially for the "Kanzaisai" Festival, which is held every October. It is said that gods from all over the country gather at this festival, and people who visit Izumo Taisha are overwhelmed by the power of the festival. There are beautiful buildings, a Kagura hall, a vast torii gate, and other things, and you can feel the traditional Japanese architecture and culture. And the shimenawa at Izumo Taisha was very impressive. I visited around 12 o'clock on a weekday, and there were a lot of people. In addition, you can enjoy eating and shopping at Shinmon-dori, the main street of Izumo Taisha, and Goen Yokocho, which was built in front of the main gate of Izumo Taisha. There were lines at the restaurants at lunchtime. The grounds are very impressive and spacious, and you can get fortune slips and goshuin stamps. It's a shrine that gives you a lot of power, so please visit it once. - ...
