Izumo-taisha, also known as Izumo-oyashiro, is a shrine located in Shimane Prefecture. It is a special place of worship for practitioners of the Shinto religion and one of the most important pilgrimage sites in all of Japan. According to the oldest Japanese chronicles (Kojiki), the temple dates back at least to 712 AD, and some sources suggest it may have originated as early as the 1st or 2nd century AD. The current structure dates from 1744, but the traditional form of the shrine has been preserved over the centuries and is regularly reconstructed during special ceremonies. The main sanctuary is dedicated to the deity Okuninushi, the guardian of happiness and love in Japanese mythology.
