About This Video

Located in the heart of the silver rush is the mining city of Oda. Also known as Iwami Ginzan, you will find the beautiful little shrine of Kigami. With its Shimenawa (enclosing rope) hanging in front of the main entrance and the beautiful dragon painted on the main hall ceiling is, like the famous Izumo Taisha shrine, the god of Kigami shrine. Known as Okuninushi-no-mikoto, he is the very same as the god of marriage! The god will not only bless your marriage, but also help you find the perfect partner!
