The famous shrine of Ise-Shima - Ise Jingu
Location: Ise Jingu
Address: 1 Ujidate-cho, Ise City, Mie Prefecture
Access: 10 minutes by car from Ise IC
Ise Jingu is a large shrine that even Japanese people have heard of, and it was a wonderful place where you could feel nature even on the way to worship.
It's a large shrine, so you have to walk, but the air is fresh, so we arrived at the worship site surprisingly quickly.
Even if you arrive at the shrine and climb the stairs, you can't go further inside, but the worship site is right after you climb the stairs, so everyone worships there before going home.
It was about a 15-minute walk round trip, so I thought it was easy to visit.

Religious beliefs and prayers are internal, while the aesthetics of the shrine are external presentations. , the charm of Taoist architecture and sites
The inner palace of Ise Jingu is the most famous area, but the outer palace about 5 kilometers away and the adjacent Shikinen Sengu Memorial Shrine Museum are also worth a visit. Both are located in the heart of Ise, a 10-minute walk from Ise City Station. The architecture of the Outer Palace is similar to that of the Inner Palace, but there are some differences between the two. After visiting Ise Jingu Shrine, you can visit the nearby Gogashi Town and Tofu Yokocho Plaza, and taste local delicacies such as Ise’s super thick 🍜🍜 udon and shaved ice 🍧🍧. If you are a matcha 🍵🍵 lover, Ise is famous for its tea, and you must have a drink when you come here. This area is also a great place to find special gifts for friends and family.
Around Ise
Matsusaka and Tsu are also worth visiting.
Matsusaka was once a bustling commercial town with a towering castle and city walls that are still preserved for tourists to visit. Now, what makes Matsusaka famous is the Matsusaka beef meat with clear marble texture, which is comparable to the famous Kobe beef. Locals even use it to make sushi🍣🍣. The Matsusaka Japanese-style grilled chicken topped with miso🍗🍗 has also been praised by gourmets.

Exploring Ise Jingu with Delicious Street Food
I visited Ise Jingu and enjoyed a variety of delicious foods!
Ise Jingu offers a wide range of street food delicacies.
Among them, the highly recommended ones are the popular Akafuku and Ise Udon. Akafuku is a perfect combination of soft mochi and sweet red bean paste, while Ise Udon has an incredibly fluffy texture that makes it addictive!
Be sure to try some street food when you visit Ise Jingu.

Ise Grand Shrine Tour
Ise Grand Shrine, located in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, is one of the most important shrines in Shintoism and one of the oldest shrines in Japan. It is famous for its long history, sacred status, and unique architectural style.
The history of Ise Grand Shrine can be traced back to the 3rd century AD. It was originally built to worship Amaterasu, the sun goddess and the ancestor of the Japanese royal family. The shrine is divided into the Inner Shrine (Naiku) and the Outer Shrine (Geku). The Inner Shrine worships Amaterasu, while the Outer Shrine worships Toyouke, the food god of Amaterasu.
One of the most unique traditions of Ise Grand Shrine is "Shikinen Sengu", that is, every 20 years, the shrine will be demolished and rebuilt nearby according to ancient construction methods. This process not only reflects the respect for the gods, but also the inheritance of traditional Japanese construction techniques. The next Shikinen Sengu is expected to be held in 2033.
The architectural style of Ise Grand Shrine is called "Shinmei-zukuri", which is characterized by the use of no nails and relies entirely on mortise and tenon structure. This architectural style reflects the Japanese philosophy of harmonious coexistence with nature. The shrine's architecture and the surrounding natural environment are integrated, giving a solemn and solemn feeling.
Visiting Ise Grand Shrine is a spiritual purification and reverence. Tourists usually wash their hands and mouths at the Temizuya first, and then enter the inner courtyard of the shrine through the Torii (the entrance of the shrine) for worship. During the worship, people will pray to the gods for peace, health, and happiness.
Ise Grand Shrine is not only the center of religious beliefs, but also an important part of Japanese culture and spiritual life. Its existence reflects the Japanese awe of nature and gods, and respect and protection for traditional culture.

I didn't know, but since it's summer, you can use the beach that goes straight from the hotel basement to the beach. Free
I should have brought a swimsuit and tube~what a shame;;
I was able to drink beer and drinks for free right after the hot spring.
You can check in from 3pm or have a simple tea and beer at the lounge from 2pm, and you can sit in the lounge (since all rooms have an ocean view) and enjoy the ocean view👍
Dinner and breakfast were buffets, and I could drink local beer in the evening,
and there was wine, draft beer, and Japanese sake, but I got tipsy after drinking the local beer >.< It's a shame I couldn't drink much.
Day 1 ended with a drive to Bubu Rock and Jinju Road#パールロード and a hotel & hot spring. I'll upload the next day~

Recommended the following three destinations to introduce to everyone one by one
📍Detailed Address:
Ise Jingu Shrine
Nachi Falls
Kumano Kodo Trail
🗓Itinerary:
From Osaka, head south towards the southern coastline. Nachi Falls. Although it can't compare to the grandeur of domestic waterfalls, being just a gentle stream, the ancient temples and trees surrounding the waterfall, and the scenic mountain roads along the way, are worth experiencing. Continue along the coastline to the east, and you will find many Kumano Kodo trail markers, each serving as a scenic lookout. Further east, all the way to the seaside is the famous Ise Jingu Shrine, one of the most prestigious shrines in all of Japan. The focus is on the Edo-period architecture at the entrance of the shrine, with lots of delicious food, making it very photogenic.
⏳Play Time:
I visited in spring, a very comfortable season. Generally, spring and autumn are good times to visit anywhere.
🚉Transportation Tips:
You can fly to either Osaka or Nagoya. Then take JR or drive yourself.
💰Average Cost:
Tickets for these attractions are very cheap, or even free. It's basically just the cost of flights, hotels, car rentals, and meals.
🌟Highlights:
The natural landscape is integrated with the cultural landscape. They complement each other.

Traveling to Mie Prefecture near Nagoya (Ise Shrine/Futami Okitama Shrine)
🚆 Transportation: After purchasing the 'Aozora Free Pass' in Nagoya, you can get there in about 1 hour and 30 minutes via the 'Rapid Mie' train that runs about every hour! The above pass is only sold on weekends, so it's important to adjust your visit date.
⛩️ Attractions: Ise Shrine, which can be accessed by bus from Iseshi Station, and Futami Okitama Shrine, which is a 15-minute walk from Iseshi Station by JR train to 'Futaminoura' Station, are worth seeing!
♦️ Pros and Cons: Ise Shrine is known to be one of the places that Japanese people want to visit the most. There are many people, but the downside is that foreigners may not be very impressed!
However, it's good for a walk, and there's a street in front of the shrine that reminds me of Kyoto, so I think it's a good place to enjoy a day!
The only downside to Futami Okitama Shrine is that it takes about 15 minutes on foot, but the spectacular view from the Married Rocks ('Wedded Rocks' according to Google Map) is truly a work of art!
🍜 Recommended restaurant: I highly recommend the famous 'Ise Udon' at 'Okageyokocho' in front of Ise Shrine! I know 'Udonya Fukusuke' is the most famous place, and I heard that they sometimes hold performances next door, so I recommend you go there!

Ise Jingu Shrine is a shrine located in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, and is the apex of the Japanese shrine. It is also the oldest part of history and has experienced more than two thousand years of baptism. The shrine is mainly composed of the inner palace and the outer palace, and the inner palace is dedicated to the god of the sky. As the most sacred and ancient Shinto place in Shinto. Visiting the inner palace is generally in accordance with the order of Uji Bridge Yushou Washing, Sacrifice to God, Inner Palace Kagura Hall, Zhenggong Palace, and Kagura Hall. It should be noted that, contrary to the outer palace, the visit to the inner palace depends on the right. Even the frog sons in the travel frog came here to take pictures and punched.
Ise Jingu Palace, almost outside the palace or the inner palace, almost all hidden in a primitive forest. Even if our arrival is in this cold winter day, But the clear springs and trees completely ignore the silence of this season, and they are still green. The Isuzu River in the shallow waters of the river flows into the river from the outside of the shrine, standing on the bank of the river, and it is clear and clear, and the sound of the sound of the water is like a sonata in the early spring. All the impetuous fading gradually faded away, leaving only the soft voice to echo in the heart.

Ise Jingu Shrine is the spiritual pillar of the Japanese. No foreigners can enter since construction, and it is not open to foreigners until 1957. Unlike other Japanese shrines, the shrine security is the police of the Japanese Self-Defense Force, which in itself illustrates the significance of this shrine. The
Ise Shrine preserves the gossip mirror that symbolizes one of the three imperial artifacts of Japan, and thus the importance of the Ise Shrine. Ise Shrine will be relocated to Ise in 20 years. The "Year of the Year" is also an important commemorative event with a history of more than 1,300 years.

At the entrance of Ise Jingu Shrine, you can see a sink called Hand Water House. All Japanese people are here to cleanse (washing their mouths) before they pay homage to show respect for the gods. There are many rules for visiting Ise Jingu Shrine, but you can experience the various connotations of Japanese Shintoism from various complicated rituals, and really let the mind be purified in such a process. Visiting the outer palace here generally depends on the left side. From the fire-fighting bridge, visit the worship in this order: the hand-water house the bird house the main palace the Taga Palace the earth palace the wind palace the year-old palace memorial senguu hall. The shrine is also very particular. Before the shrine, first squat twice at 90 degrees. After the hands clasped together, the right palm slightly slaps the palm twice, closes his eyes and prays, and finally squats again. In addition to the blessing of the Great God, it is also possible to make a wish. Like many other shrines and temples in Japan, it is also sold here. The contents of the blessing include: transshipment, health, traffic safety, marriage, security... Prices range from 500-1000 yen. If you wish, just write your wishes here and give them to the staff.
