Insider tip — 'Kappo' (割烹) refers to a high-grade traditional Japanese restaurant style; 'Yurari' (ゆらり — gently swaying, like water or light) suggests a refined, contemplative atmosphere. Izumo is home to Izumo Taisha (出雲大社) — Japan's oldest and most sacred Shinto shrine, dedicated to Okuninushi-no-Mikoto, god of relationships. Each October (the 'month without gods' everywhere else in Japan) all 8 million Shinto deities convene at Izumo to arrange marriages and human relationships for the coming year. Kappo Onsen Yurari provides refined bathing near this sacred site.
