The local experience
One of Japan’s oldest and most important shrines, dedicated to Okuninushi, deity of bonds and marriage; the main hall is a National Treasure, and the Kaguraden has an enormous sacred rope.
Former silver mine in the Oda mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Ryugenji Mabu tunnel open to visitors, the village of Omori and the hot‑spring port of Yunotsu.
Japan’s tallest stone lighthouse, about 44 meters high, on Cape Hinomisaki northwest of Izumo Taisha; a spiral staircase leads up to the balcony overlooking the Sea of Japan.
