[Departing from Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Shiga] Shimane Travel, Shimane Tour

The land of Izumo is known as the land of gods and myths. In the land of Izumo, there are still many ancient shrines. And at the center of these shrines is Izumo Taisha which enshrines Okuninushi-no-Okami, who is familiarly known as Okuninushi-sama.
Izumo Taisha, famous as the god of matchmaking and good fortune, is an ancient shrine whose founding is recorded in the Kojiki, said to be the oldest historical book in Japan, and was called Kitsuki Taisha until the early Meiji period.
In the myth of the transfer of the country recorded in the Kojiki, Okuninushi-no-Mikoto handed over the country to Amaterasu-Omikami of Takamagahara, and the Amanohisumi-no-Miya Shrine built at that time is said to be the beginning of Izumo Taisha.
