Coasts and islands

The Shimane Peninsula was once separated from the mainland by fault activity, and it is thought that the Izumo Plain, Matsue Plain, and Yumigahama Peninsula were formed by the alluvial action of rivers on the mainland, and was connected to the mainland again.
Oki Island was built on the ancient volcanic activity, and after the plate tectonic and climate change, it sank into the sea and continued to land with the continent and mainland, making it a remote island about 10,000 years ago.
Through this process, a variety of coastal landscapes were created.
Both Oki Island and Shimane Peninsula are the stages of Japanese mythology, including the mythology of Kokubiki.
In particular, the Shimane Peninsula is the center of ancient Izumo culture and is dotted with many historical sites and famous places related to myths such as Izumo Taisha Shrine, Hinomisaki Shrine, and Kaga Hidden.
