While literally translated as \"the month without gods,\" this refers to the month in which the kami leave all parts of Japan to gather at Izumo Taisha shrine (出雲大社) to discuss upcoming events for the year such as marriages, deaths, and births. Izumo Taisha is considered the oldest and one of the most important shrines in all of Japan. The earliest mention of Izumo Taisha was recorded in the \u003cem\u003eNihon Shoki \u003c\/em\u003e日本書紀  (Chronicles of Japan) in approximately 700CE, but the shrine is believed to have been in existence prior to even this early record. Located on the northern coast along the Sea of Japan an hour west of Matsue, Shinto rituals are still held every October 10th to welcome the gods to Izumo. The primary kami venerated at Izumo Taisha is Okuninushi no Okami, who according to legend was the creator of the land of Japan and the ruler of Izumo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeld each year on October 22nd, the \u003cem\u003eJidai Matsuri\u003c\/em\u003e 時代祭 (Festival of the Ages) is one of Kyoto's three major festivals of the year.
