This month is known as "Kamiarizuki" in Izumo, while the rest of Japan refers to it as "Kaminazuki."🙏

🗓️ Here’s the schedule for the 2024 Gathering of the Gods:

✅ Evening of November 10: A welcoming ceremony for the gods will take place at Inasa Beach, just a 5-minute drive from Izumo Grand Shrine，where eight million deities will gather.

✅ November 11 to November 16: The gods will hold a week-long meeting to summarize this year's achievements and discuss plans for the next year. Don’t miss this chance if you want insights into your future.

✅ November 17: A closing ceremony will be held in the morning, with some deities leaving in the afternoon, while others will remain until the end of the month.

❤️ Whether you’re seeking love, business partners, or close friends, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss!

⛰️Mt. Daisen
Recently, Typhoon No. 10 🌀is to hit Japan, and the entire country has taken various measures to prevent disaster.
However, it seems that residents in the San'in region continue with their normal lives. It is said that due to the protection of Mt. Daisen, typhoons each year seem to "bend around," barely touching the region😌

Mt. Daisen, the highest peak in Western Japan, is picturesque throughout the year. Especially in autumn, with its 🍁colorful leaves, and in winter, with ⛷️skiing activities, it attracts many tourists.

The natural environment in Tottori is well-preserved, with vast beech forests effectively storing, regulating, and purifying water sources. Suntory water factory 🏭 is located here, so when visiting the San'in region, be sure to try the natural water 💧👐from Mt. Daisen.

✅If you enjoy natural scenery, Mt. Daisen has many attractions worth visiting, such as the Daisen Home of Milk, the Kida River Stream, and the Kagikaketoge Pass.
✅If you are interested in cultural history, you can visit Daisenji Temple, Daisen Shrine, and the Ueda Shoji Photography Museum.
✅If traveling with children, places like the Daisen Horse Riding Center or the Children's Kingdom are recommended.

🚌There are buses from Yonago Station to Mt. Daisen, and you can also book special taxi routes at the Yonago Station Tourist Information Center. This year, a special 3-hour taxi route is available for your reference.

Iwami Ginzan🪨, located in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, is a significant silver mine and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
🔨During the 16th to 17th centuries, it reached its peak as one of the largest silver mines globally, contributing a third of the world's silver production at that time. This made it likely that silver 🪙🍴used in European products originated from Japan.

Known not only for its abundant mineral resources but also for its well-preserved mining sites and ecological surroundings, Iwami Ginzan is a notable destination🌳🌿

Visitors can explore the World Heritage Center to learn about refining techniques, transportation routes, and the history of the mine. ⚒️Experiencing the mining process firsthand is possible at accessible mines like Ryugenji and by appointment at the intermittently open Okuibo

Aside from 🎞️mining activities, visitors can enjoy hot springs in nearby Yunotsu Onsen, witness traditional Iwami Kagura 🎭performances, and immerse themselves in the daily life of miners from the past💕
