Trip Moments Recommendations
【Shimane】A cafe renovated from a hospital.
A cafe in Tsuwano town, Shimane prefecture, renovated from a hospital, called KATE 🍽️
Old building glasses let in light so gently ✨
The view through the glass is exceptional 🪟
What I had this time was the 'Tsuwano Vegetable Platter Buffet'
You can only get it once, but you can have as much Tsuwano vegetables on your plate as you like.
Eating a lot is still healthy because it's vegetables 🥬
It's nice that soup and rice come with the set 👍
It's a popular cafe, so making a reservation is recommended ♥️
At the back of the building, you can enter for 200 yen and feel the remnants of the old hospital 💉
I will visit the Izumo Taisha Shrine in Shimane.

This is a wonderful god who is said to bring blessings to all relationships as the god of matchmaking.
After passing through the second torii gate, you will meet the main deity, Okuninushi-no-Mikoto.
The worship method here is unique, with two bows, four claps, and one bow.
The large rope at the Kagura-den hall is impressive and beautiful!
Going there early in the morning when there are fewer people, and being able to worship slowly while basking in the morning sun was a very mystical experience.
After passing through the approach, there is a copper torii gate.
A local man told me that if you touch and turn this copper torii gate, your "money luck will improve," but according to the official Q&A, this is a fabrication and not a belief that has been around since ancient times at Izumo Taisha Shrine.
