Inasa Beach (稲佐の浜), located near Izumo Taisha, is a breathtaking coastal spot deeply rooted in Japanese mythology. Famous for its stunning sunsets, the golden light reflecting on the waves creates a truly magical atmosphere. According to legend, this is the place where the gods first descended to Japan, giving the beach deep spiritual significance. Its tranquil setting and gentle sea breeze make it ideal for relaxation and photography.
A standout feature of Inasa Beach is Bentenjima, a small rocky islet just offshore, crowned with a sacred shrine dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of water and fortune. The sight of this holy rock silhouetted against the setting sun is unforgettable. Visitors often stroll along the sandy shore, listen to the soothing rhythm of the waves, and immerse themselves in the mystical charm of this historic site.
