We spent all day discovering Okuizumo's landscape, history and culture through various activities. Besides experiencing the beautiful nature in Oni no Shitaburui gorge and Obara dam, for the first time, we learned to make Okuizumo's soba. Generally, Okuizumo is an ideal destination for people who want to get away from the cities' hustle and bustle.

Historical insights regarding the origins of Japanese culture are to be gained from seeing the valuable artifacts preserved at this museum adjacent to Izumo Grand Shrine. Though some are replicas, several objects on display are priceless national treasures. Taken at a leisurely pace -- Don't rush! -- the many exhibits reveal a great deal about early Japan, the construction and re-construction of the Grand Shrine over centuries, and its significance (both religious and otherwise) to successive generations. My wife and I took in the museum before going to the Grand Shrine, which enhanced our appreciation of the shrine immeasurably. Had we done it the other way around there still would have been a lot for us to learn. An English-language audio guide is free with admission.
