Located west of Izumo Taisha Shrine in Shimane Prefecture, Inasa Beach is a power spot that has been associated with the ancient myths of the transfer of the country and the pulling of the country! There is a small island called Benten Island on the beach, with a particularly conspicuous torii gate, which was once located far offshore in the bay. The shrine behind the torii gate enshrines Toyotamahime-no-mikoto, a famous god of the sea. This place has also been selected as one of the 100 best beaches in Japan, and the view of the sun setting behind Benten Island is amazing, and it is registered as a Japanese Heritage site as the "sacred land of the sun setting, Izumo". This time, it was at dusk. I would like to visit there 😳 It is also the place where the Kamimukae Shinto ceremony is held to welcome the eight million gods from all over Japan on the 10th of October in the lunar calendar, so it is an essential place for a journey through mythology. *The moment I arrived here, the light rain that had been falling until then suddenly stopped, so I felt some kind of connection 😌 -—————————————— [Access 🚃] About a 15-minute walk from Ichibata Electric Railway's "Izumo Taisha-mae Station" -————————————— #Domestic travel #Shimane prefecture #Trip to Shimane #Trip to Shimane #Shimane sightseeing #Izumo #Izumo sightseeing #Inasa beach #Shinto ritual beach #Japanese mythology #Top 100 beaches in Japan #Japanese heritage #Benten Island #Sunset spot #Camera trip #SLR #Canoneoskissx9i #I love traveling #Travel record #Travel record #Cut-out world #Travel in Japan #Where should we go next? #japan #japantravel #shimane #Enjoy Japan

Inasa Beach is located near Izumo Taisha Shrine, about 15 minutes on foot and only 3 minutes by car, so it can be arranged together with the itinerary of Izumo Taisha Shrine🙏🏻 According to mythology, as long as you take some sand from the beach, put it in a bag and take it to worship Izumo Taisha Shrine, you can bring good luck and ward off evil spirits, so many people will come here specifically to get sand😇 Another feature of Inasa Beach is that there is a small island called Bentenjima hidden here, and there is a small shrine on the rock⛩️! This is also a great place to watch the sunset. It is one of the top 100 sunset views in Japan. When the afterglow of the sunset shines on the calm sea, the scenery is truly beautiful!

It's less than a 15-minute walk from Izumo Taisha. You can see Benten Island on the white sandy beach. There is also a torii gate ⛩, and it is dedicated to Toyotamahiko-no-Mikoto, a god who rules the sea and water ✨ At this Inasa Beach, instead of water-drawing, we receive "sand" 🙌 We exchange the sand we receive for sand at the Soga Shrine in Izumo Taisha and take it home 😃 I purified the four corners of my house and put the rest in my amulet 🎶 It was the rainy season and the weather had been bad for days, but in the evening the blue sky began to show a little, and the light shone through, creating a fantastic landscape! Also, at "Kamimiya", which is within walking distance, it is a sacred place where "Divine Council" is held to discuss various matchmaking during the month of the gods.
