Inner shrine of the Ise Grand Shrine This shrine has been very familiar with many visitors and pilgrims for long years and is called "OISE-SAN". It is dedicated to Amaterasu, the sun goddess and is constructed by using the oldest Japanese-style architecture. I strongly recommend you to visit here. |

You can see a lot of famous works of artists representing Japan. | This is a Renaissance-style museum, which displays clothing and sacred treasuries derived from the Japanese Shinto religion as well as modern Japanese arts. | Oharai-machi is lined with many shops selling various traditional Japanese goods and foods suitable for your souvenir. About halfway down is Okage-yokocho. You can enjoy an atmosphere of pilgrim during the Edo Period. |
