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. #NeverTooLateAcademy #BeyondTheBlueZone #IzumoTaisha #Shimane #JapanTravel #Longevity #BlueZone #NeverTooLate #SpiritualJourney #JapaneseCulture #BeyondTheBlueZone #CyclingJapan #TravelJapan #AgingWell #MindfulTravel #SacredJapan #JapanVlog #writerslife
