Two Hotels on the Same Premises Near Izumo Taisha
Located 8 minutes on foot from Izumo Taisha Shrine, a popular god of marriage and fortune, "Oyado Tsukiyo no Usagi" (お宿 月夜のうさぎ) and "Inishie no Yado Keiun" (いにしえの宿 佳雲) are hotels on the same site with different charms. In the common area that connects these two hotels, there is a large public bath which uses hot spring water from a private source, and five different types of reservable baths and it is made so you to can go round all the hot springs in the building.
Additionally, there are plenty of facilities besides hot springs such as a library and areas where you can rest after taking a bath or between going around the different baths. On the rooftop, there is a moon viewing platform with two rabbit motifs, where you can see the moon and the Izumo scenery under moonlight.
