Unnan City・Okuizumo Town

Experiencing the spirit of tatara, where artisans breathe life into materials by working in harmony with nature and engaging all five senses, brings a feeling of renewed energy from within. The stunning natural scenery, which changes beautifully with the seasons, is home to countless sites connected to Izumo mythology. Additionally, the medicinal hot springs that flow from these sacred mountains are famed as “beauty-enhancing baths.”
