Izumo Grand Shrine

Reviewed By HotRodHeart - France, null

Being one of the oldest and most revered shrine in Japan, you will feel the history of the place as you walk to the shrine and around. Look at the Japanese people to avoid little mistakes, like walking on the path reserved for the gods, etc... It's super countryside, so shops and restaurants close very early, and transportation is scarce. So plan ahead. English is not widespread neither. If you have a chance, follow the way toward the sea from the shrine (the one used for the annual event) , and enjoy a breathtaking sunset ;)

Former Taisha Station

A beautiful wooden station building designated as an important cultural property of the country. Interiors and railway goods with high historical value are worth seeing as well as railway fans.

Reviewed By jeffreyrg - Higashihiroshima, Japan

Visiting this old station feels like going back in time. You can still see the schedules, mannequins wearing the original uniform, the railtracks and the train. The best part is it is free and near the other tourist spots.

Inasa Beach

Reviewed By iwakunifoodie - Iwakuni, Japan

Just down the road from the Izumo Taisha Shrune, Inasa Beach is a MUST visit!! We caught some beautiful clouds and sun rays when we went. It was pretty windy and cold, but it was so beautiful!!!! There is a small parking lot. It was almost full when we went, but some people left right after we got there. There’s also a cafe across the street that must have some spectacular views. If I had know, I wouldn’t have had a Starbucks right before heading to this beach. I’ll be trying the cafe the next time I go!

Hinomisaki Shrine

Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan

The Hinomisaki Shrine is somewhat hidden and not as touristy. I first saw this shrine while driving to the lighthouse. It was beneath the road near the coast surrounded by nature. Once I saw this, I knew I had to visit. I walked here from the lighthouse and the shrine was absolutely beautiful! I loved the red color amongst the green trees, very photogenic. If you are in Izumo, definitely make the effort to visit this shrine and the surrounding area.

Honozan Park

From the park completed in 1955, the observation tower at the top of the mountain gives a panoramic view of the townscape of Taisha, from the Inasahama coast of Kikuchi mythology to Mt. Sanbo. The origin of the name of the votive mountain is called the votive mountain, since the Yeongungul of the Middle Ages buried the cylinder with the text in the 66 sacred places throughout the country. There is a viewing platform at the top of the 75m elevation of the votive mountain. There are a way to go up the stone steps from the park entrance and a way to get around by car. The view from the top of the observation deck is the best.
