When I was thinking of ways to visit Izumo Taisha Shrine and other places, I happened to find a bus tour called Shinwa-go by the Izumo City Tourist Association. It was a series of coincidences that the tour visited most of the places I had wanted to visit and was available on the day I was planning to go. I was very satisfied with the tour with explanations. Although I was traveling alone, it was an encouraging and memorable time.

The guide was kind, polite, explained everything in detail and was excellent. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for this very valuable experience. I have visited Izumo-taisha several times, but there were many things that I did not know that the storyteller told me. However, was the narrator not feeling well? He was wearing a mask, so I couldn't hear some of what he was saying, and there were times when he turned his head to the side and I couldn't hear him. Unless he was in poor health, I thought it was not appropriate to cover his face with a mask for the sake of hospitality. I thought it was unnecessary to wear a mask outdoors in a very well ventilated area.

On my first trip to Izumo alone, I participated in the "morning mairi," which allowed me to visit Izumo Taisha Shrine in the sacred atmosphere of the morning. The quietness and atmosphere unique to early morning was very special, and I am truly glad I took part. By chance, we were also able to see the Tsukiji Festival in one day, which was a very valuable experience. The guide was easy to talk to and explained things very clearly, so the 90 minutes went by very quickly. Thank you very much.

I saw the announcement on X and visited the shrine. It was a snowy day, but it was not so heavy that we could not walk. It is not easy to enter the Hashimon Gate, but I was very grateful for the opportunity to see the shrine painted in white up close and personal. After the tour ended in front of the Kaguraden, we left the shrine grounds feeling refreshed, though I am not sure what that was. Thank you very much to the staff, the guides, and the priest who gave us a wet explanation in the snowy weather inside the Hachishimon Gate. We will visit the shrine again.

The tour at the Taisha Shrine in the snowy weather was a very special experience. It was the most peaceful and moving experience I have ever had in my life, and I was able to really feel the myth of the handing over of the country. I took this picture because I saw colored clouds when I looked up at the sky as it was beginning to clear in the midst of snow. 　I was fascinated by the knowledge and embracing power of the storyteller, Mr. Wada, and the priest in charge of the shrine talked about the Izumo style of wooden construction and important cultural assets, and it was an experience that reaffirmed for me how lucky I am to be Japanese. 　And in recent years, it has become a place I want to visit every year. It is the land of Izumo, and although the power spot boom is yet to die down, I want to be the person who feels like being honest and pure of heart once I step into Izumo-taisha Shrine. Shimane Prefecture is mysterious and I love it. I am really glad that I was able to participate in this tour, and I would like to thank everyone involved.

We were worried about the forecast of a big cold wave, but we were able to see Izumo-taisha Shrine covered with snow on the day of the tour. Our guide, Mr. Wada, was very polite and spoke in an easy-to-understand manner. We were also given a story by a priest and a souvenir, which made our trip an unforgettable anniversary of our couple's trip and birthday. We are grateful that we were able to visit Izumo-taisha for the first time and will cherish our relationship with the shrine. Thank you very much.

The style of speaking towards the audience was very good. It would have been easier to listen if he was a little louder. I would like to go back as it is in a neighboring prefecture. As I recall. The myth of the White Rabbit of Inaba, connected with Princess Yagami.

It was my first time at Izumo Taisha and I was grateful to be able to participate in such an event. I was happy to be able to enter places that are normally inaccessible and visit the shrine. Being able to listen to Izumo-sama's explanation as we went around the shrine was also a rare experience for me. I would like to participate again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

I happened to see on the Internet news feed that the Izumo-taisha Shrine was to hold a special visit to the Hachimonnai Gate, and immediately asked my partner about it. He readily agreed, and we adjusted the schedule after a close call with his work shift! Since the condition of the tour was to stay in Izumo City, I quickly made a reservation on the Internet, even though I usually don't make reservations for accommodations until the last minute! It was a little far from Izumo Taisha Shrine, but I decided to stay at a business in front of the station. It was my first time staying in Izumo City and my first time in front of Izumo Station, but I was a little confused and stayed one night comfortably! Unfortunately, we stayed in Izumo City in the midst of the strongest and longest cold wave of the season, but we were able to proceed smoothly without stagnation. I wonder if this is also thanks to the blessing of a guiding karma? We stayed the day before the Sunday worship service, but despite the heavy snowfall, we were able to move around and proceed smoothly, and we were able to enjoy a different kind of worship service that we would not normally be able to enter. If I may express my greed, I would have liked to take a walk around the Hapsikimon and see the back side of the gate, which is not usually seen, but I felt a little backward. It was an unforgettable experience for me to see the unique winter scenery and Izumo-taisha Shrine, and I will always remember it as a page in my life. The staff's cheerful hospitality made the day a pleasant experience for me, no doubt. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
