【Izumo Taisha ⛩️】 In the old Japanese calendar, October is called Kanna month. Because all the gods in Japan gather in Izumo, only the Izumo region in Japan calls the tenth month of the old calendar as Kamizai month. Legend has it that the gods gather at Izumo Taisha Shrine to discuss the marriage of ordinary people, who will meet whom, and so on. Izumo Taisha was originally called Kitsuki Taisha, but it was renamed Izumo Taisha after the Meiji era. It is also the only shrine that is called Taisha under the shrine system (shrine rank classification) in the Meiji period. In mythology, Izumo Taisha Shrine is the place where the Lord God of the Great Country lived in seclusion after ceding the land to the Amaterasu family. The condition for land transfer is to build a palace as high as the sky for him to live in. Izumo Taisha is most famous for its shimenawa rope, which weighs 4.4 tons, the largest in Japan. The method of worship is also different from the general shrine's two worships, two claps and one salute, but two prostrations, four clapping hands and one salute. 🎁Recommended souvenirs: Izumo Matcha Genmaicha Dream Tea Monogatari Sencha Shimane Ginger Tea Bag Shimane Tea Three Combinations
