Tourist attraction • 305 Imaichichō, Izumo, Shimane 693-0001, Japan
In the remote region of Izumo, there stands a statue of Yamata no Orochi, a creature from Japanese mythology. Its mysterious form stimulates the imagination of viewers, much like a legend passed down from ancient times.
"Yamata no Orochi" refers to a giant serpent with eight heads. Its body is divided into eight, each with a dragon's head, creating a unique and perhaps depicting the meandering flow of mountain streams. The statue standing along the Takase River exudes dignity with a slightly humorous expression, shrouding its true origins in vague mystery.
Local residents may wish for a more easily understandable place, but the statue of Yamata no Orochi stands in this remote area, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. Perhaps walking along the Sakura-blooming Takase River in spring will allow one to immerse in the world of legend. Why not savor this strange beauty while contemplating ancient things?
