Inasa Beach

Inasa Beach stretches west of Izumo Taisha and is said to be where Okuninushi negotiated the transfer of the land with envoys of Amaterasu. During Kamiarizuki, the Kamimukae ritual welcomes deities here before they are led to Izumo Taisha along the Kamimukae path. The beach is also known for sunset views and the small islet of Bentenjima.
