■ Inasa Beach

📍Inasa Beach This beach is located 1km west of Izumo Taisha Shrine, and is known for the myths of the transfer of the country and the pulling of the country. At the back of the beach is Byobuiwa, where Okuninushi-no-Okami and Takemikazuchi-no-Okami negotiated the transfer of the country, To the south of the coast is Nagahama Beach (Sono-no-Nagahama), which is said to have become the rope that connected the islands during the Kunibiki. Until 2021, it was a popular swimming beach, but it is not currently open for swimming. Izumo Taisha Shrine has had a long-standing tradition of taking home sand from the shrine, and even today, many worshippers take it home as "purifying sand." It is said that placing the sand you bring home at the four corners of your property and at the entrance to your house will exorcise evil spirits. The correct way to do this is to bring sand from Inasa Beach near Izumo Taisha Shrine and "exchange" it for it. #FreeHotelStay
