I took a trip to Izumo, the city of myths.
My main reason for going was to see a KOKIA concert.
She’s cute in person. Great singer, great talker too… When KOKIA debuted she was a singer-songwriter
doing her own kind of music, but lately she’s become more of a concert performer. From now on I don’t think
there’s much point listening to KOKIA’s music on CD. The gap between the CDs and the live show was just too big…
After the concert I made a loop around Izumo.
This is the Hinomisaki Lighthouse in Izumo.
The sunset view was gorgeous. I should come back now and then.

Took this one while driving by.
The grounds of Izumo Taisha
I stopped by on the way. The shrine in the middle of the night was quiet and solemn.

I had this for dinner. It wasn’t bad, but it’s not something worth going out of your way for…
