Starting this spring, the Izumo Tourism Association has launched new bus tours inviting travelers to the land of Japanese mythology.
Tours that include a stop at Shimane Winery are also available.
Let's take a look at the details.
New Bus Tours Inviting Visitors to the Land of Myth
These are new bus tours proposed by the Izumo Tourism Association to welcome visitors to the land of myth.
These unique tours feature the "Shinwa-go" Izumo sightseeing bus touring popular mythological sites, as well as the "Izumo Yamakaze/Umikaze-go" and "Sunset Izumo-go" offering spectacular views from an open-top double-decker bus.
With a variety of course types, you can choose according to your interests.
Shimane Winery as Well!
Here is a tour recommended for Japanese wine fans.
The Izumo sightseeing bus "Shinwa-go" tour, which accepts bookings starting from one person, offers three courses: A, B, and C. Courses B and C reportedly include a stop at Shimane Winery.
At the winery, visitors can enjoy shopping for souvenirs as well as tastings of wine and juice.
All courses visit "Inasa Beach," where Okuninushi no Okami and Takemikazuchi no Onokami negotiated the transfer of the land; "Izumo Taisha," which enshrines Okuninushi no Okami, the deity of en-musubi (marriage and matchmaking); and "Hinomisaki Shrine" and "Izumo Hinomisaki Lighthouse," both designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan. Thus, including Shimane Winery in between is definitely something you will want to do.
