Pray for all kinds of luck to “Okuninushi no Mikoto” at Izumo Grand Shrine in Kameoka

Izumo Grand Shrine in Kameoka enshrines "Okuninushi no Mikoto," known as the god of marriage, and "Mihotsuhime no Mikoto," the goddess of marriage.
It is a place where people can pray not only for a relationship between a man and a woman, but also for a relationship for mutual growth and development. The Izumo Grand Shrine is mentioned in "Tsuretsuregusa" written by Kenko Houshi as "there is a place called Izumo in Tamba" and has a history of 1,300 years. The main shrine is said to have been renovated by Ashikaga Takauji, and is designated as an important cultural property.
