The shrine priest here is really funny and charming. Thanks to his lively and engaging explanations, I learned a lot more about the Izumo area and Japanese mythology.
There were way too many people inside the museum. Staff had to use megaphones just to talk. It was super noisy and chaotic, which really ruined the mood of my visit.
You don't have to visit only during cherry blossom season—there are just too many tourists then. You can see different kinds of flowers at other times, and there’s also great food to try.
