Power spot tours and travel specials Power spot tours and travel specials

"Power spots" are a hot topic these days. Just visiting historic places such as shrines, temples and sacred mountains gives you a sense of solemnity. Why not try visiting power spots all over Japan on a Club Tourism tour?

Hokuriku/Sanin area

Ishikawa/Noto Peninsula

The entire peninsula is a power spot, tossed about by the rough waves of the Sea of Japan
"Even the soil of Noto is gentle."

Almost the entire Noto Peninsula belongs to Ishikawa Prefecture, and at one point it turns east to form Toyama Bay.
It is a peninsula that juts out north from the center of the Hokuriku region into the Sea of Japan, and a wide area of it is designated as the Noto Peninsula Quasi-National Park.
The coast facing Toyama Bay is called Uchiura, and the coast facing the Sea of Japan is called Sotoura. From the tip of the peninsula to the base, the areas are called Oku-Noto, Naka-Noto, and Kuchi-Noto, respectively.
There are many powerful power spots on the Noto Peninsula, and one of them, Cape Suzu, also known as the "sacred cape," is a rare ultra-power spot even in Japan.
Known as the "holy land at the end of the world," this is a historic power spot that appeared in the ancient Izumo myth, the "Land Pulling Myth."
This is a place where the "power of nature" is concentrated, where the "air currents of the earth" that gather at the cape in a global cycle, and the ocean currents from the south (Tsushima Warm Current) and the ocean currents from the north (Liman Cold Current) gather and intersect in waves, making this a unique geography even on a global scale.
As the saying goes, "Noto is gentle, even the soil is gentle," so why not visit the Noto Peninsula, where not only the people but even the soil is said to be gentle?

Shimane/ Izumo Taisha

The gods gather on the other side of the "Oshimenawa"
A journey to receive the power of wonderful encounters...

Izumo Taisha is a shrine located in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture, and is the "Ichinomiya of Izumo Province." It goes without saying that it is one of Japan's most famous shrines.
Many other gods are enshrined here, including Okuninushi no Okami, the god who symbolizes the earth.
According to Japanese mythology, when Okuninushi-no-Mikoto was asked by Amaterasu-Oomikami to "give up the country," in return he asked for a palace as large as one for the heavenly grandson to live in. This is said to be the beginning of Izumo Taisha.
Oct. of the lunar calendar (current Oct.) is generally called "Kannazuki," but in Shimane Prefecture it is called "Kamiarizuki."
The eight million gods from all over Japan gather at Izumo Taisha to discuss the events of the year, so it was thought that there would be no gods outside of Izumo, and so the month was called "Kannazuki." On the other hand, Shimane Prefecture is home to many gods, so the month was called "Kamiarizuki."

The symbol of Izumo Taisha is the "Large Shimenawa" (rice rope) at the Kagura Hall. It is the largest shimenawa in Japan, measuring 13.5 meters in length, 8 meters in width, and weighing 4.4 tons! This shimenawa separates the "sacred area" from the "secular world," and is an essential part of any shrine.
Be overwhelmed by the size of the shimenawa rope, and take your time to worship at Izumo Taisha using the unique ritual of "two bows, four claps, one bow."
Izumo Taisha is said to have a strong energy that can be felt throughout its grounds, as if many gods have gathered and are discussing something about us.
This shrine is also famous for being the god of matchmaking. It is said that it is not only for love, but also for important connections between people.
Why not go and meet the gods of Izumo in search of power from the many gods and wonderful encounters?
