What is it?
It’s a beach near Izumo Oyashiro.
During Kamiarizuki (late November to early December), many gods come here.
Kamiarizuki means “the month when the gods are present.”
Does this appear in mythology?
Long ago, before the Great Deity Ōkuninushi (The deity who created the nation, and the deity of matchmaking) resided at Izumo Taisha, the Great Deity Amaterasu (A Sun deity) commanded the Great Deity Ōkuninushi to cede the land.
The final envoy at that time, the deity Takemikazuchi (A very powerful deity), came from this beach.
What is that big rock?
It’s an island called Benten Island.
Long ago, Inasa Beach and Benten Island were not connected, but in recent years sand has drifted over from other beaches, so now you can walk almost to Benten Island.
⚠️Beware of falling rocks. Do not go too close to Benten Island.
Can I swim?
DON’T SWIM.
There are many large stones called tetrapods, intended to suppress waves.
As a result, waves prone to causing accidents are generated.
People unaware of this are swimming in the ocean and getting into accidents.
