Izumo (the year before last)

I went to visit "Izumo Taisha" for new year's visit in 2008










lots of snow at Hiruzen highway parking area in Okayama



This is the second torii and the front gate of the shrine.
This area was famous for Kabuki. Okuni, the creator of Kabuki theatre was born in Taisha.

This is Haiden, a hall of prayer.
 It was built in 1959.
