Visit Izumo Taisha, where the deity Okuninushi-no-Kami, who is said to have built Japan, is enshrined. The shrine is one of Japan's oldest and most revered Shinto shrines and is known as the home of the gods. Wander through the serene grounds, marvel at the largest shimenawa (sacred straw rope) in Japan which is a massive 13.5m long and feel the mystical energy that has drawn pilgrims for centuries. ✨⛩️ 📷 @‌7e_backs.0814 on Instagram #VisitJapanAU #VisitJP_gofurther #Shimane #IzumoTaisha #Izumo
