Ise Grand Shrine

Ise Grand Shrine in Chugoku

The Grand Shrine of Ise, known to the Japanese as Jingu, comprise the Inner Shrine (Naigu), the Outer Shrine (Gegu), and another 125 smaller shrines in Mie, which together form the largest group of shrines in Japan. Traditionally people visit the Outer Shrine before proceeding to the Inner Shrine. The most revered of all Shinto shrines, the Naiku, enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the Goddess of the Sun and highest among Japan's many deities. Large numbers of pilgrims come to Ise to offer thanks for their blessings and to pay homage to the tutelary goddess of the Japanese people. The grounds are thickly wooded, and visitors are deeply moved by the somber ancient atmosphere.
