[Mie Prefecture] Ise Shrine, the spiritual home of the Japanese people

We went to Ise Shrine in Ise City, Mie Prefecture 🚅 Also known as "Oise-san" or "Daijingu-san", this place has been familiar to us since ancient times ⛩ It is divided into two parts: Kotaijingu (Naiku), which enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, who is worshiped as the great ancestor of the Japanese people, and Toyouke Daijingu (Geku), which enshrines Toyouke Omikami, the guardian deity of industry, and is considered the largest sacred area among all shrines in the country The "Oise pilgrimage", which involves visiting the Geku → Naiku, became very popular during the Edo period It's a good old tradition with a long history 🧐 Walking through the forest of the shrine, with the murmuring of the Isuzu River and the scent of the trees, I was able to purify my body and mind 😌 At the entrance to the Naiku, local children gave a lively dance performance 👏 My first visit to Ise Shrine...it was really great 👍 --------------------------------------------- [Access 🚃🚌] Geku 👉 Get off at Kintetsu "Ise-shi Station" 5 minutes walk 🚶‍♂️ Naiku 👉 Get off at Kintetsu "Isuzugawa" 5 minutes by bus 🚍 ★It takes about an hour to walk from Geku to Naiku, so I recommend taking the bus! *Ride time: about 10 minutes [Visiting hours🕰] January to April & September → 5:00 to 18:00 May to August → 5:00 to 19:00 October to December → 5:00 to 17:00 --------------------------------------------- #Amazing view #Mie #Mie Prefecture #Mie trip #Ise #Ise Grand Shrine #Visiting Ise #Naiku #Geku #Shrine tour #Camera trip #SLR #canoneosskissx9i #Nature #Sacred area #Visiting in nature #I love traveling #I love nature #I love history #Travel record #Cut-out world #Beyond the film #National travel support campaign #japantravel #Traveling in Japan #Where should I go next?
