And there is a ''Lake of Miller''. It is a fortune-telling lake. First, you put coin on the special paper and put it lake. If your paper sink fast, you will marry soon. But If your paper sink slowly, you will marry late. It's interesting! Second, Izumo Temple is the most famous temple in Shimane. Izumo is known as country of God and myth. So, it is said there are many God in Izumo temple. So, in October Shimane is not tenth month of the lunar calender(神無月). It is term used in Izumo province(神在月). It is very rare. And sometimes it is hold marriage ceremony here. Third, Iwami-Kagura is one of the Japanese culture. Kagura is a classical theater to pray God.
