Tungkol sa lokasyong ito: Ise Grand Shrine
Ang Ise Jingu ay pinakasagradong dambana ng Japan, sa ibabaw ng 80,000 dambana ng bansa. Kabilang ang Naiku (panloob na dambana ng Amaterasu) at Geku (panlabas na dambana ng Toyouke); muling itinatayo bawat 20 taon. Ilog Isuzu, mga higanteng cedar at tahimik na landas ay humihinga ng sagradong hangin.
Mga pangunahing tampok
- Naiku (Kotai Jingu) — enshrining Amaterasu Omikami; cross Uji Bridge to enter the shrine grounds, the Isuzu River, the inner sanctuary, and the Aramatsuri-no-miya — the most sacred ground
- Geku (Toyouke Daijingu) — enshrines Toyouke, deity of Amaterasu's daily meals; tradition holds that worshippers visit Geku first
- Uji Bridge — about 100 m of wooden bridge marking Naiku's entrance, rebuilt every 20 years; the Isuzu River framed through its rails is exquisite
- Isuzu River and shrine cedars — millennia-old cedars line the approach, with «Mitarashiba» a place to purify hands in the river
- Shikinen Sengu rituals — the «Okihiki» log-pulling ceremony and the once-in-20-years sacred rebuilding; the next occurs in 2033
