参拝後の楽しみの一つは門前街でのグルメとお買い物。 ぜんざいを食べたかったのですが、目的の店が改装中で店がなく、ありつけられなかったので、急遽この店に。 食べてみれば普通の鯛焼き、回転焼きみたいなもの。至って普通。 Instagram映えする商品。 フグの海産物がお店の本業なのですね。
Shimane Areas
What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan's oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
