Sunset over Izumo

Sunset over Izumo
Izumo, on the Sea of Japan in Shimane, is home to some of Japan’s oldest myths and to sacred sites like the grand shrine of Izumo Taisha. The beautiful rock formations along this coastline make views of the sunset from Izumo’s beaches famously spectacular. Sunsets have always been sacred in Izumo, and people here have carefully preserved the landscape that makes them so beautiful. The quality of the sunset is forecast every day and displayed by the city. We also see a festival where local fishermen pray for safety at sea and sail out in procession to venerate the sunset.
