Yamata no Orochi Park in Unnan City, Shimane, marks the spot where the deity Susanoo-no-Mikoto found chopsticks floating down the Hii River, an event linked to the Yamata no Orochi legend. The park features stone statues depicting the battle between Susanoo-no-Mikoto and the Yamata no Orochi, as well as a monument commemorating the 'Chopstick Finding.' Located a 10-minute walk from JR Kisuki Station and a 5-minute drive from Mitoya Kisuki IC, the park offers a quick, free visit to explore a significant mythological site. While small and perhaps best suited for mythology enthusiasts or those with time to spare, it provides a glimpse into local folklore.
