Watching highly-rated hotels in Izumo and Tamatsukuri onsen for the lunar-October Kamiari Festival.

In the lunar tenth month, Japan's myriad gods are said to gather at Izumo Taisha for the "Month of the Gods." On the days of the god-welcoming rite and the en-musubi grand festival, pilgrims seeking a marriage blessing converge on this small San'in city, and Izumo's inns are often full by the time online booking even opens.
Rooms for the god-welcoming day are often taken a year out, so last-minute free-cancellation deadlines are the realistic chance to catch one. Widening to Matsue and Tamatsukuri onsen — ~40 min on the San'in Main Line — adds onsen options.
