1Izumo Taisha
Symbol of "country of gods and Izumo"! Furuyashiro renowned as a god of a matchmaking
Indeed it's a sacred place adjacent to a myth in Furuyashiro where attribution of foundation is recorded on historical record in the Japanese oldest "The Kojiki". The main festival god is the "Okuninushinokami" learned about as God of a matchmaking and the God of Wealth (Okuninushinokami), and a worshipper visits from the whole country in order to pray the good match.
The shrine architecture style of the Japanese oldest when the Izumo Taisha main shrine designated as national treasure is called "Taisha-zukuri style". 3 big trees are tied together and it's made 1 pillar anciently, and it's said that there was also height 48m. A big roof which lacks for 5 years from 2008, has been new by the performed "big removal of a shrine in" Heisei and has been just rehatched is solemn beauty.
Godo street where a store of Izumo local specialty and a gift stands in a row
Dining Area, a gift shop and a cafe are standing in a row merrily in Omotesando which leads to from a front gate in Izumo Taisha to Otorii (Torii of one) over about 700 m "Godo street". To the extent there are also a lot of stores of "Zenzai Red Bean Soup" and the Shimane local specialty called Izumo local origination "near Izumo", and you can compete eating. Please enjoy by all means.
Better fortune and the gift a matchmaking goods and a power stone seem to make raise luck Izumo say a home in Izumo Taisha, and also gather. The avenue of pines planted in Taisho Era and a street where a stone pavement harmonizes, as I'm taking a walk, fun.

It's said to be Izumo Taisha that Okuninushinokami was deified instead of giving a country at the place where Okuninushinokami negotiated with a messenger god of Amaterasu Omikami for handing over dominion.

The silhouette of Bentenjima by back light is also fantastic. It's also registered by a Japanese legacy as "sacred place Izumo where the sun sets".

5Matsue castle
From construction of a castle, 400 years! Matsue's symbol national treasure Matsue castle
The castle a great commander in the Age of Warring States and Yoshiharu Horio built in an early stage in the Edo Period. Tenshu completed in 1611 (1611) also towers by the still beautiful and powerful form now via time of 400 years and is loved by people as Matsue's symbol. It was designated by a national asset in 2015 for one in existence Tenshu where only 12 castles are left in the whole country.
The stone wall which was loaded onto the abundant nature, Horikawa and the time of Tsuiki with which a castle is surrounded is a highlight. Tenshu is the structure of a story of ground 5th floor underground, and it's possible to visit the interior. It's possible to see a prayer tag at the time of Tsuiki which became conclusive evidence of national treasure designation at the 1st floor of underground.
I pay attention to a beautility conscious of actual fighting. A view from Tenshu is a superb view.
The device to break an enemy and a beautility are a highlight for the Matsue castle which becomes the structure which prepared for actual fighting. The device to protect including an emptied hole "loophole (the condition)" to attack the enemy who has invaded by Tetsupo and a bow and arrow, everywhere, it's done. Much, a blind spot is the structure favorable to defense inside Tenshu.
The top floor is the watchtower system by which a wall can look 360 times which cry around. It's said that there were enemy's watch and business of the conning tower then, but you're enjoying as the observatory where you can get a bird's-eye view of streets in Matsue and Shinji-ko Lake now. It feels like being Matsue seigneur, and how about looking?
