@realmairie: DAY 6: Where do Japanese people pray? Izumo Taisha is one of Japan’s oldest Shinto shrines and is widely known for its association with connections in life (縁 / en). According to Japanese legend, Izumo is where the gods gather once a year during Kamiarizuki, which is why this shrine has long been linked to relationships and life connections. Beyond the shrine, Izumo offers a quieter side of Japan, local food like Izumo soba, slower streets, and a pace that feels very different from major cities. Would you visit to pray? #RealMaiRie47 #japantrip #shimane
