Hinomisaki Shine
5 of 8 in Izumo
Hinomisaki Shrine (日御碕神社) is a stunning coastal shrine located about 8 km north of Izumo Taisha, perched along a picturesque shoreline. This striking red shrine is nestled among green mountains and surrounded by lush pine trees, offering visitors a serene and breathtaking view—especially at sunset, when golden light bathes the landscape.
At Hinomisaki Shrine, visitors can pay homage to Amaterasu, the sun goddess, and her younger brother Susanoo, the god of storms and the sea. While exploring the shrine grounds, don’t forget to pick up a daruma omikuji—a small wooden doll containing a fortune slip. It’s a popular keepsake for travelers seeking a bit of guidance or luck during their visit.
