Izumo: The Beach Where Gods Land #japan #spiritualhotspot #writerslife

Hello from Shimane Prefecture, near Izumo Taisha — one of Japan’s oldest and most sacred shrines. This is said to be the beach where the gods land.
Twenty-five years ago, I cycled the length of Japan in what my publisher called “a spiritual journey through Japan.” Along the way, I prayed Celtic prayers at temples and shrines, believing that the fabric of life is woven from many threads — and one of them is spiritual.

Now, standing in the rain by the Sea of Japan, I return to this sacred coast — still exploring what longevity really means in Japan.

Join me as the journey continues.
