I wonder if my friend will be blessed first.
I’m laughing at the title right off the bat.
Let me cut to the chase.
Arrived at Izumo City Station around 8:30 am.
From there, take the Ichibata Electric Railway to “Izumo Taisha”.
It took about 40 minutes by train.
Once at Kawato, change trains to Izumo Taisha.
So many people!
Although it was a weekday, the event was a great success due to the divine month “Kamiari-zuki”.
We all think the same way.
I made a thorough visit to the temple and did an ema (votive tablet) and omikuji (a written oracle).
I see that there is no indication of “Daikichi” or “bad luck” on the Izumo-taisha fortune slip.
To summarize this fortune,
“Don’t be vain, save your money, will-unemployed.”
It is a sobering thought.
I then sent pictures of the ema to my friends as proof.
“I wished for it,” I said.
Then one of my friends told me,
“I’m so glad you’re here! Oh, by the way, I have a boyfriend.”
The contact was returned.
After all, results come to those who act, right? That girl was working hard on matching apps and such. There must be something, I’m sure, in this trend, too.
I go to a buckwheat noodle restaurant for a bit of a burnout. (Apparently, he was frustrated. Darn it.)
It is called wariko soba. It was eaten one layer at a time from the top, and the remaining condiments and sauce were added to the soba water at the end of the meal.
Sake is Okuizumo.
The soba water and sake at the end of the meal were the best of all.
I was able to get drunk well. It is 11:00 before noon.
When I finished eating, another friend told me,
I decided to go there as soon as he contacted me and said, “The sandy beach is also beautiful, so go there.
I wandered around for about 20 minutes from the buckwheat noodle shop.
Eh? There’s some kind of shrine gate on the island.
I looked it up and found “Inasa-no-hama” (beach of Inasa).
The island with the torii gate is “Bentenjima.
I had not researched tourist attractions other than Izumo Taisha Shrine, so I was excited to learn about it.
Incidentally, Inasa-no-hama was a pathway for welcoming the gods when they gathered in the month of Kamiari-zuki.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Bentenjima is said to be dedicated to Toyotamahikonomikoto, the god of the sea.
I apologize for the inconvenience…(Second apology)
After the trip to Benten Island, we went to buy some souvenirs. The time was already around 14:00.
I bought some souvenirs at a product store and remembered.
Shimanekko” train
I immediately looked into it,
There was no timetable for the Shimaneko train, and it was up to luck whether you could get on or not.
I gave up and took the Ichibata Electric Railway to return to Izumo City Station.
Huh? There was a heart-shaped strap on the train in the opposite direction…
This is a Shimaneko train!
I took the photo in a hurry, so my fingers are in it. I hope I could just see it.A little saddened, I was rocked by the train back to Izumo City Station.
The time is now around 3:30 p.m. and there are only three hours left before the return bus time.
I was hungry, so I ate “Susanoo Ramen” which was available at the station.
It almost looked like a clione.
It’s pretty. They say it is the sword of Susanoo.
The taste was close to Sapporo Miso Ramen. Thank you for the food.
After the meal, the time is 16:00.
I had two extra hours, so I went to a super public bath that was located at the station and spent the rest of the time lazing around.
We boarded the bus, and our Izumo marriage trip came to an end.
I had a great time and would like to go back. I also need to pay my respects.
