One of the oldest and most important Shinto shrines in Japan is located in Izumo, a city whose name means “appearing clouds". It is true that the sky looks beautiful in this area, and the Shinto belief is that every year, innumerable gods from all the country are gathering here, at the Izumo Taisha shrine.
