The trip to Kumamoto and the surrounding areas was an absolute delight, we enjoyed the scenery at Mt Aso and Takachiho tremendously. Everything was pure and beautiful, lunch at the 2 restaurants esp day 1 with the vegetables and beef was outstanding.

There is the big event once a year in Izumo taisha on 10th Oct in the old calender.

All the gods in Japan are considered to gather at Izumo taisha on the day to argue about matchmaking between men and women. The event lasts for a week.

The long building above is seemed to be the hotel for those gods.

For this reason, Izumo taisha is also seen as the matchmaking shrine.

There is also a beautiful shrine 30 min away by car from Izumo taisha, called Hinomisaki shrine.

You only can have access by a private car getting there.

The seashore road getting there is so beautiful. So, if you have enough time and rent a car,  you should visit there.

This is a part of Kyoto, different from the one normally people think of.

It is more natural spots rather than traditional and historical, so you can enjoy the other aspect of Kyoto.
