Top 50 things to do and attractions in Matsue (2024)

It is very quiet here. There are some koyfishes that you can feed, it is very icy for small children.

One of 2 Ichinomiyas in Shimane, an amazing shrine which is way quieter than Izumo Taisha. Would be a good pick place for the first prayer of the year.

I was healed

(Translated by Google) Visit on Tuesday, May 21, 2024I received a stamp from Kumano Taisha Shrine.Engishikinaisha Shrine is located in Kumano, Yakumo-cho, Matsue City.As Izumo Kuni Ichinomiya, the precincts have a stately atmosphere.Kumano Taisha Shrine is involved in the succession ceremony for the chief priest of Izumo Taisha Shrine, and it is said that it is an ancient custom to begin by offering the ``Sacred Treasure of the Flint Mill.''[Sankasai]A festival is held every year on October 15th in which the flint mortar and hikirigine used to start the fire are sent from Kumano Taisha to Izumo Taisha.Free parking available for worshipers.(Original)2024年5月21日(火)参拝熊野大社の御朱印をいただきました。松江市八雲町熊野に鎮座する延喜式内社。出雲國一之宮とあって境内は風格があります。出雲大社宮司の襲職の儀式に熊野大社が関わっており、『燧臼燧杵の神器』を拝戴する事によって初まるのが古来からのしきたりだそうです。【鑽火祭】（さんかさい）火を鑽(き)り出すのに使う燧臼（ひきりうす）と燧杵（ひきりぎね）を熊野大社から出雲大社へ送りだす祭りが毎年10月15日に行われています。参拝者用の無料駐車場完備。

(Translated by Google) This time I went to Kumano Taisha in Yakumo-cho, Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. This shrine is also called ``Hinomoto Hidezome no Yashiro'' and is famous as the shrine where fire originated.Located in Ichinomiya, Izumo Province, it is a shrine with a history and prestige that rivals Izumo Taisha.(A fact that surprisingly many people don't know ( *´艸｀))Kumano Daijin Kushimikenu-no-mikoto, the god who defeated Yamata-no-Orochi, is enshrined here, and is dedicated to promoting industry and bringing good fortune. It is said to have the benefit of matchmaking and warding off evil spirits.(There are lots of kanji that are irresistible for Chuunibyou (#^.^#))There are also stories of people who actually visited the shrine while looking for marriage and were blessed with a good match after hearing that it was said to bring good luck in finding a match. (I want to play Ayakari ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))Anyone who has visited the shrine knows that they feel a special power in the sacred atmosphere. (*people)Every year on October 15th, a festival called ``Sankasai Migushima Festival'' is held where people light fire, and it seems to be a traditional event unique to this shrine.Also, during the Kametayū Shinto ritual held in October, a unique ritual is held in which the Izumo Taisha priest challenges the Kumano Taisha priest.(I'm curious~(@^^)/~~~)It is a shrine with a deep history and unique rituals that will draw you in once you visit.Convenient access,Approximately 30 minutes by car from JR Matsue Station.You can easily go there by bus. （(｡>ㅅ<)✩⡱）The precincts were very well maintained and I felt comfortable visiting. There is a large parking lot and restrooms, so you don't have to worry.(Yokattaya ε-(´∇｀♥))If you visit Kumano Taisha along with Izumo Taisha, you can feel the history and formality even more.Highly recommended for those who want to tour historic shrines, or those wishing for good luck or warding off evil spirits.(Original)今回は島根県松江市八雲町にある熊野大社に行ってきました。この神社は「日本火出初之社（ひのもとひでぞめのやしろ）」とも呼ばれていて、火の発祥の神社として有名です。出雲国一宮で、出雲大社と並ぶほどの歴史と格式がある神社なんですよ。（意外と知らない人が多い事実( *´艸｀)）ここにはヤマタノオロチを退治した神祖、熊野大神櫛御気野命（くまのだいじんくしみけぬのみこと）、つまり素戔嗚尊（すさのおのみこと）が祀られていて、殖産興業、招福縁結、厄除けのご利益があるとされています。（中二病にはたまらない漢字がいっぱい(#^.^#)）特に縁結びのご利益があると聞いて、実際に婚活中に参拝したら、良いご縁に恵まれたという話もあります。(あやかりたい( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))参拝した人は誰も分かりますが、神聖な雰囲気の中で特別なパワーを感じます。(*˘︶˘人)毎年10月15日には、火を鑽り出す「鑽火祭(さんかさい・みぐしまつり)」というお祭りが行われていて、この神社ならではの伝統行事のようです。また、10月の亀太夫神事では、出雲大社の神官が熊野大社の神官に難癖をつけるというユニークな神事も行われています。（気になる～(@^^)/~~~）歴史が深く、ユニークな神事もあって、一度訪れるとその魅力に引き込まれる神社です。アクセスも便利で、車ではJR松江駅から約30分、バスでも簡単に行けます。（(｡>ㅅ<)✩⡱）境内はとても綺麗に手入れされていて、気持ちよく参拝できました。大型駐車場も整備されていて、トイレもあるので安心です。（ﾖｶｯﾀｧｧε-(´∇｀♥)）熊野大社は、出雲大社と共に訪れると、その歴史と格式をさらに感じることができる場所です。歴史ある神社を巡りたい方や、縁結びや厄除けを願う方にはぜひおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) It had a great atmosphere and I felt empowered. The shrine where fire originated. It is dedicated to the god of fire, and I remember visiting the shrine closest to my home when my child was job hunting. My child became a firefighter and I visited the shrine with a special feeling. If you go to Izumo Taisha in Shimane, you should stop by.(Original)かなり雰囲気があり、パワーを貰ったので気持ちになった。火の発祥の神社。火の神様を奉られており、私の自宅の一番近い神社で、子供が就活時におまいりしたのを思い出しました。子供が消防士になり、特別な思いで参拝しました。 島根でも出雲大社に行った際は立ち寄られた方がいいです。

(Translated by Google) This is an old shrine whose main deity is Sujin no Mikoto. One of the six shrines. At this shrine, Sujin no Mikoto is called by the honorific title Kumano Ookami Kushimokeno no Mikoto. Officially, it is Izanagi, Manako, Kaorogi, Kumano Okami Kushi, Mikino no Mikoto, which is quite long.It already existed in the early 700s, and at that time the shrine was built on what is now Tenguyama.It is also the birthplace of fire, and is also known as Japan's first fire shrine. It is a sacred fire-starting treasure housed in a slightly different-looking building within the shrine grounds, and is lit during Shinto rituals. The fire starter is a conical type and is said to have been passed down by Sujin no Mikoto.Although it is a large shrine among the Iuroku shrines, the grounds are well maintained and beautiful. You can worship comfortably.Various festivals are held throughout the year. Among them, the Kametayū Shinto ritual held in October is an unusual ritual in which the priests of Kumano Taisha are constantly criticizing the rice cakes delivered by Izumo Taisha.There is a large well-maintained parking lot. A toilet is also available.(Original)素盞嗚命を主祭神とする古社。意宇六社のひとつ。この神社では素盞嗚命は神祖熊野大神櫛御気野命という尊称で呼ばれる。正式には伊邪那伎日真名子加夫呂伎熊野大神櫛御気野命でかなり長い。700年代前半には既に存在しており、当時は現在の天狗山に社が建っていたそうです。火の発祥神社でもあり日本初火出社とも呼ばれている。境内にあるちょっと雰囲気の違う建物の鑽火殿に納められた発火の神器で神事の際は火を起こす。火起こし器は錐揉み式で素盞嗚命が伝えたとされています。意宇六社の中では規模の大きな神社だが境内は手入れが行き届いておりキレイ。気持ち良く参拝できます。年間を通して様々な祭事が行われる。その中でも10月の亀太夫神事は出雲大社が納める餅に対して熊野大社の神官が難癖をつけまくるという変わった神事があります。整備された大型駐車場あり。トイレも併設されています。

(Translated by Google) This shrine is said to be the birthplace of fire dating back to the age of the gods, and is also called ``Hinomoto Hidezome no Yashiro.'' The main headquarters of Kumano Shrine is Kii's Kumano Sanzan (Kumano Hongu Taisha, Kumano Nachi Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha), but this shrine has an older history and there is also a legend that it was enshrined in Kii from Izumo.It is considered to be Izumo Ichinomiya along with Izumo Taisha Shrine, and although it is a fine and well-maintained shrine, the main building was rebuilt in the modern era, so I don't really appreciate it. Although it may be difficult to visit by traveling all the way, there are other shrines in this area that are worth seeing, such as Kamintama Shrine and Yaegaki Shrine, so I think you will be satisfied if you visit them together.(Original)神代にさかのぼる火の発祥の地とされる神社で、「日本火出初之社（ひのもとひでぞめのやしろ）」とも呼ばれています。熊野神社の総本社は紀伊の熊野三山（熊野本宮大社、熊野那智大社、熊野速玉大社）となりますが、縁起はこちらのほうが古く、出雲から紀伊に分祀されたとの伝承もあります。出雲大社と共に出雲一之宮とされていて、手入の行き届いた立派な神社ではあるものの、社殿は近代に入ってから建て直されたもので、あまり有り難みを感じません。遠路はるばる訪れるには厳しい見ごたえながら、この辺りには神魂神社に八重垣神社といった見ごたえのある神社が点在しているので、それらとあわせての参拝であれば満足できるかと存じます。

(Translated by Google) There was plenty of parking. Cross the elegant red bridge to reach the shrine. A relaxing interior. There is also Inari Shrine.Visit the five shrines in the lunar calendar.(Original)駐車場はたくさんありました。風情のある赤い橋をわたり大社に行きます。ゆったりした境内。稲荷神社などもあります。旧暦の神在月五社巡りで参拝。

(Translated by Google) Izumo Province Ichinomiya. It is said that a strange ritual called the Kame-dayu Shinto ritual is held here, and if you look at the details, it clearly shows that Kumano Taisha is of a higher rank than Izumo Taisha.Kumano Taisha is said to have originated when the Higashi-Izumo royal family, which had been occupied by the Mononobe clan, moved its palace from Oba (Kintama Shrine) to Kumano, upstream of the Iu River (King's River).It originally enshrined Kunato Okami, the ancestral god of the Izumo tribe, and Yaeha Tsumi (Joshiro-shu), who died a tragic death due to a plot by Jofuku (Susanoo), but now the main enshrined deity has been replaced by Susanoo. Masu….By the way, it is said that the body of the head of the shrine who died in Awashima is buried on Mt. Amengu (now turned into Mt. Tengu), where Kumano Taisha's inner shrine is located.(Original)出雲国一宮。亀大夫神事という珍妙な神事が行われるそうですが、内容を見ると出雲大社より熊野大社の方が格上であると如実に表しています。物部氏勢力に占領された東出雲王家が大庭（神魂神社）から意宇川(王の川)上流の熊野に館を移したものが熊野大社の始まりと言われます。もともとは出雲族の祖神・クナト大神と、徐福(スサノオ)の陰謀で非業の死を遂げた八重波津身(事代主)を祀っていたのに、現在では主祭神がスサノオにすり替えられています…。ちなみに熊野大社の奥宮がある天宮山(天狗山にされてしまっている)には粟島で亡くなった事代主の遺体が眠っているとのこと。

(Translated by Google) There is a benefit of matchmaking!At the beginning of October of last year, when we entered the third year of our marriage search, which we had been lazily continuing to do while taking breaks, I went on a trip to Shimane with my family. Shimane is one of my favorite travel destinations, and this was my third time visiting Kumano Taisha Shrine, and this time, at my mother's insistence, I prayed for marriage.I also visited Izumo Taisha Shrine.When I chatted with a local at a museum I stopped by, I was encouraged by someone who said, ``If you pray today, you'll be able to slip in and make it in time to consult the god of the moon,'' and I returned home feeling a mysterious response. I carefully enshrined the sacred talisman on my altar at home.As if my wish had come true, I quickly got engaged to someone I met soon after, and the following year we decided to get married at Kumano Taisha Shrine.Since it is a shrine dedicated to Suhoson and his wife, Princess Kushiinada, I think it is natural that it will bring good luck in matchmaking.The lucky charm comb is also cute, so I received it and am using it carefully.As the ladies who dressed me and did my hair and make-up during the wedding preparations said, some people call Kumano Taisha the parent of Izumo Taisha. The person who said that didn't seem to know much about the details, but I felt that it was a shrine that had a lot of weight to it, as people who were born and raised in Matsue perceived it that way. It makes sense since it is an Ichinomiya shrine along with Izumo Taisha.During the ceremony, a Shinto priest will perform live on the sho and koto.At the end of the ceremony, the priest would read something like an instruction, but this was extremely anachronistic. Wives don't appear in front of their husbands, they make the family name even more prosperous, and so on. If a man like Sosho Takashi were my husband, I wouldn't think of coming forward... It would be good if we could help each other by stepping forward and retreating while walking side by side.I'm sure there are people who are concerned about this, but I think it's best to not get too nervous and take it in a way that suits you.I was a little surprised to find a nice board for a nameplate among the hand-me-down items. It has an old-fashioned feel to it.My husband and I get along well, have fun together, and are doing well in good health, so I think we have a good relationship.I had a lot of bad experiences in my marriage, but thanks to everyone, I was able to get to where I am now.1. Pray for matchmaking at Kumano Taisha Shrine before the month of Kamiari.2. Visit Izumo Taisha Shrine properlyI'm just wondering if this was a mistake.I think it would be great if Kumano Taisha's matchmaking power spread along with Izumo Taisha.The following is a review of Kumano Taisha's affiliates and surrounding facilities. I hope this will be helpful to those who are considering a wedding ceremony.There is no building with a large hall inside the shrine, so the only things that can be done inside the shrine are preparations and the ceremony. It is possible to hold the reception at a luxurious hotel in Matsue City, but in my case, I chose Yuuaikuma-no-Yakata, which is right next door.We wanted to have a small ceremony with only our families invited, and enjoy a leisurely meal while chatting.Also, we had many families with young children, so we didn't want to burden them with transportation.Kuma no Yakata has a Showa-era feel to its exterior and interior, but the food is surprisingly delicious. I can see that they have put some thought into the menu, and despite being in a mountainous area, the quality of the sashimi was good and my family was very satisfied.I was wondering if I would be able to eat dinner after the reception because it was so large, but the receptionist suggested I prepare a boxed lunch. My family was happy because I could eat whenever I wanted, and the bento boxes were also very luxurious and delicious.There was nothing I disliked about the staff's response, and the bathhouse was very spacious and had a pleasant hot spring that felt good on the skin, so I was really grateful that I was able to make my family happy.We also had the option of renting a waiting room for relatives rather than staying overnight, so breastfeeding families could spend their time with peace of mind.I think Kumano Taisha is good because it has such facilities right next door.There are companies in the downtown area of ​​Matsue City who can coordinate wedding ceremonies at Kumano Taisha Shrine. There is also an application form to submit to the shrine, so it will go smoothly if you ask the person at the shrine when you visit.I used Muramatsu who offers "Kumano Taisha weddings". Since we were founded as a costume rental store, we have many wonderful costumes. I was happy that I was able to get married in the white solid wood that I liked.I was very satisfied with how I dressed on the day, and was flexible with my hair and makeup, which I had communicated to them in advance.I think there are many women who are very particular about their wedding ceremony, but I think you can have a wonderful ceremony even if you leave it to the people around Kumano Taisha Shrine.(Original)縁結びのご利益あり！休み休みしながらだらだらと続けていた婚活が3年目に突入した去る年の10月頭、家族と島根旅行へ出かけました。島根はお気に入りの旅行先で、熊野大社に参拝するのは3度目だったのですが、この時は母の強い勧めで縁結びの御祈祷をしていただきました。その足で出雲大社にも参拝。立ち寄った博物館で地元の方とお喋りした中でも、「今日御祈祷したなら、神在月の神様のご相談に滑り込みで間に合いますよ」と励ましてもらい、謎の手応えを感じながら帰って、いただいた神札を自宅の神棚に大切にお祀りしました。願いが届いたのか、そのすぐ後に出会った方とスピード婚約に至り、翌年には熊野大社で挙式をすることに。素戔嗚尊とその妻、櫛稲田姫を祀る神社なので、縁結びのご利益は当然あるかと思います。お守りの櫛もかわいいので、いただいて大切に使っています。結婚式の支度の際、着付けやヘアメイクをしてくださったおねえさまたちが仰っていたのですが、「熊野大社は出雲大社の親」と呼ぶ方もいるそうです。詳細はそう言ったご本人もあまりご存知ないようでしたが、松江で生まれ育った方々がそんな風に受け止めている重みのある神社なんだなと思いました。出雲大社と並ぶ一の宮の神社なので、納得です。挙式の際は神職さんが笙と琴を生演奏してくださいます。式の締めに神主様が訓示のようなものを読み上げるのですが、これは大変時代錯誤な内容でした。妻は夫の前に出ず、とか、家の名を益々栄えさせて云々、等々。素戔嗚尊のような人が夫であれば前に出ようとは思わないでしょうけど…。並んで歩く中で前に出たり後ろに引っ込んだりして助け合っていければ良いですよね。気になる人は気になると思いますが、あまり神経質にならずに自分たちに合った受け止め方をすれば良いと思います。お下がりの品の中に表札用の立派な板があり、少し驚きました。昔ながらの感じが端々にあります。夫とは仲良く楽しくぼちぼち健康にやってこれているので、良い縁を結んでいただいたなと思います。嫌な思いをたくさんした婚活でしたが、お陰様で今の生活に辿り着けました。1.神在月までに熊野大社で縁結び祈願2.出雲大社にもちゃんと参拝これがミソだったのかなと勝手に思っています。出雲大社に並んで熊野大社の縁結びパワーが広まれば良いなと思います。以下は熊野大社さんの提携先・周辺施設を含むレビューです。挙式を検討されている方に役立ててもらえればと思います。神社内には大広間があるような建物はないので、神社内でできるのはお支度と挙式のみです。披露宴は松江市内の豪華なホテルで開くことも可能ですが、私の場合はすぐ隣のゆうあいくまの館さんを利用しました。お互いの家族だけを呼んだ小さな式をして、ゆっくりお食事を味わいながら歓談したいという希望もあり、また、家族に小さな子ども連れが多かったので移動の負担をかけたくないという事情もありました。くまの館さんは外観・内装共に、The昭和な感じの施設なのですが、失礼ながら意外に思うほどお食事が美味しいです。メニューに工夫されているのがわかりますし、山間の地域ながらお刺身の質が良くて家族も大満足してくれました。披露宴後の夕食は量が多くて食べられるかなと迷っていたところ、受付の方がお弁当の用意を提案してくださいました。食べたい時に食べられるので家族も喜びましたし、お弁当もまたとても豪華で美味しかったです。スタッフのみなさんの対応も嫌なところはなく、浴場がとても広くて肌当たりの良い気持ち良い温泉があって、家族を喜ばせることが出来て本当にありがたかったです。宿泊ではなく親族控室だけ借りる相談もできたため、授乳中の家族にも安心して過ごしてもらえました。そういった施設がすぐ隣にあるという点でも、熊野大社は良いと思います。熊野大社での挙式をコーディネートしてくれる業者さんは松江市の市街地にあります。神社に提出する申込書もあるので、参拝された際に神社の方にお声掛けするとスムーズです。私は「熊野大社結婚式」を打ち出しているむらまつさんを利用しました。貸衣裳店として創業されただけあって、衣装は素晴らしいものをたくさんお持ちです。気に入った白無垢で挙式できて満足でした。当日の着付けはきっちりと、事前にイメージを伝えておいたヘアセットやメイクは柔軟に対応していただけたので、満足度は高かったです。挙式にたくさんこだわりがある女性も多いと思いますが、熊野大社さんの周辺にお任せしても充分素敵なお式になると思います。

(Translated by Google) Kumano Taisha is a shrine located in Kumano, Yakumo-cho, Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. Shikinai Shrine (Meishin Taisha), Izumo Province Ichinomiya.Kumano Taisha is made up of three shrine buildings. The main shrine is a national treasure, and the building itself has been designated as an important cultural property. In addition, there are other shrine buildings such as the Chuden and Outerden, as well as a large precinct where many worshipers can visit.It is the starting point of the Kumano Kodo and has been visited by many pilgrims since ancient times. The Kumano Kodo is a pilgrimage route that connects Kyoto and Osaka to Kumano, and allows you to walk through a mountainous area rich in nature while enjoying historic townscapes and beautiful scenery. It is an important part of Japanese history and culture, and holds a special place for many people. Also, because it is surrounded by nature, it is a place where you can feel a calm and sacred atmosphere.(Original)熊野大社（くまのたいしゃ）は、島根県松江市八雲町熊野にある神社。式内社（名神大社）、出雲国一宮。熊野大社は、三つの社殿から成り立っています。本殿は国宝であり、建物自体が重要な文化財としても指定されています。その他にも、中殿や外殿などの社殿や、多くの参拝者が参詣するための広い境内があります。熊野古道の起点となっており、古くから多くの巡礼者が参拝に訪れてきました。熊野古道は、京都や大阪から熊野までを結ぶ巡礼路であり、自然豊かな山間部を通り、歴史的な町並みや美しい景観を楽しみながら歩くことができます。日本の歴史や文化において重要な存在であり、多くの人々にとって特別な場所となっています。また、自然の中にあるため、心静かに神聖な雰囲気を感じることができる場所でもあります。

(Translated by Google) It’s a beautiful place, but there are very few trains. After taking the Yakumo Line from Matsue to Yakumo Garage, transfer to a small shuttle bus (one trip is 200 yen for adults, half price for children, and one-day passes cannot be used). You can only vote cashThe territory is very beautiful, the staff are very friendly, there are restaurants nearby, and there are some experience centers nearby. However, it will be difficult to visit many places in a short time without driving. Be sure to pay attention to the time when taking a ride. The location for the return trip is in the parking lot. Don’t miss it in front of the toilet on the road~If you are driving by yourself, you can take a detour on your way back to Shitabi Shrine to see the giant sacred tree. There is also a pocket park parking lot nearby.(Original)很漂亮的地方，但車次相當少，從松江搭八雲線到八雲車庫後，轉乘小型接駁專車（一趟200日幣大人，小孩半價，通票一日票都不能使用） 只能投現金境內很漂亮，社方人員相當親切，旁邊有餐廳，附近有一些體驗中心，但不開車來會很難在短時間內跑多個地方，搭車一定要注意時間，另回程搭車位置在停車場靠馬路的廁所前，不要錯過了～如果自駕的話，回程繞個道可以去志多備神社看超大神木，附近也有口袋公園停車場

(Translated by Google) I went to worship at Kumano Taisha Shrine⛩️ in Izumo Kuni Ichinomiya🙌🏻The enshrined deity has a rather long name, ``Izanagi Himanako, Kaburoki Kumano Okami, Kushimikino no Mikoto,'' but it actually refers to Sushoson🤭He is the beloved son of his father, Izanagi-no-Mikoto, and is said to mean Kushi-Mikino-no-Mikoto (Susanagi-no-Mikoto), the sacred deity of the Kumano land.The worship hall, main shrine, and kagura hall were all very atmospheric, and it was a wonderful shrine that I would like to visit again⛩️(Original)出雲國一之宮の『熊野大社⛩️』に参拝にあがりました🙌🏻御祭神は「伊邪那伎日真名子 加夫呂伎熊野大神 櫛御気野命」というやたら長い神名ですが、実は素戔嗚尊のことなんですね🤭父神である伊邪那岐命が可愛がった御子で、熊野の地の神聖なる神である櫛御気野命（素戔嗚尊）という意味だそうです😌✨拝殿、本殿、神楽殿いずれも趣があり、また参拝にあがりたいと思える素敵な神社でした⛩️
