Izumo by train
Izumo's train station is called Izumo-shi Station (出雲市駅). It is located on the JR San'in Main Line.
Izumo is served hourly by the Yakumo (やくも) limited express train, which runs to Okayama station and provides direct connections to the San'yo Shinkansen (3 hours, �6700). Connecting with the Yakumo, the trip to Izumo is 4 hours from Osaka (�10800), 4 1/4 hours from Kyoto (�12300), 5 hours from Nagoya (�15300) and 6 1/2 hours from Tokyo (�19700).
From Hiroshima, the four-hour trip to Izumo via Okayama is best left to holders of the Japan Rail Pass, since taking the bus will be faster and cheaper (see below).
From Hakata station in Fukuoka, take the Shinkansen to Shin-Yamaguchi and change to the Super Oki (スーパーおき) which runs to Izumo three times per day (4 hours, �10600).
There is also an overnight train that runs from Tokyo to Izumo called the Sunrise Izumo (サンライズ出雲). The train leaves from Tokyo Station every night at 10 PM, reaching Izumo twelve hours later. The basic fare (�11660) is covered by the Japan Rail Pass, but limited express and lodging charges will have to be paid separately. This ranges from ¥9450 for a B solo, ¥10,500 for a B single, and ¥16,500 for an A single deluxe. If you want to travel on the cheap side, ¥3660 gets you your own floor space... literally, you sleep on the floor.
