Ise Grand Shrine
Okage Yokocho Ancient Street
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.

Ise Shima in Mie Prefecture is a nature lover's paradise, bursting with idyllic seaside landscapes that afford some of the most arresting views in the whole of Japan. In addition to its soul-soothing vistas, this special region is also steeped in history, being home to Ise Jingu, Japan's most sacred shrines.

Futamiura Beach in Ise.
On the rough blue sea, a shimenawa rope connects two rocks of different sizes, known as the Meoto Iwa (Married Couple Rocks) on the famous Futamiura Beach in Ise. Ise Jingu is a spiritual home for the Japanese people. According to tradition, before visiting Ise Jingu, people should first visit Futamiura Beach and perform the purification ritual of "Hama Sangu" at Okitama Shrine, before visiting Ise Jingu. The 9-meter-high male rock and 4-meter-high female rock, located 660 meters from the shore, serve as the natural torii (gate) of Okitama Shrine's sacred object, the Okitama Shinto Stone. The shrine is home to many frog statues, as frogs are the messengers of Sarutahiko, one of the shrine's deities, and the shrine's mascot. In Japanese, the word for frog, "kaeru," is pronounced the same as the word for "return home," so the shrine is also associated with traffic safety and safe returns.

What does your spiritual hometown look like? ——Ise, Japan.
[○] Ise is located at the easternmost end of Kansai. It is known as the quiet place of the Aegean Sea in Japan [RedHeart]. It is recommended in the (Michelin Guide) as a popular tourist attraction in Japan, with sea views and beaches [Island], and seafood. It has both the profound Edo ancient streets and the passionate modern Mediterranean style. It is known as the spiritual home of the Japanese [Shrine] and a place that must be visited once in a lifetime [Rainbow]
[Shrine] Ise Jingu Shrine. In our country, if you don’t pay attention to the Great Wall, you are not a hero. The place that Japanese people must go to is Ise Jingu Shrine. 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.

[Mie] Grand Ocean Ise-Shima
I went to Grand Ocean Ise Shima in Ise, Mie Prefecture!
The sea was close and the rooms were clean, so I was able to spend a relaxing time.
We had a BBQ for dinner, which is unique to glamping, as you don't have to prepare or clean up, you just have to grill, so I'm happy that I could have a fun and easy BBQ!
I was also grateful to the staff for taking lots of photos.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for glamping!

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.

Sushi dinner
Uokura is a very good pick if you are wanting to have a nice Japanese dinner or say a sushi dinner. The food was delicious, if you order meat, don't forget to tell how it should be cooked (well done, middle, rare, medium well).
At lunch time, they also tell you which options are halal among the different menus. I think it was a little expensive but I think it was a nice experience. The mackerel was perfectly salted and the skin was crispy. The bento had a lot of different stuff like egg, salmon roe which was fresh. I also loved the pickled radish for flavour.

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.

#Couple Rock #夫婦岩 #伊勢志摩
This is the Couple Rock in Mie Prefecture, Japan.
It is famous as a symbol of love for couples❤️
It is famous as a place that creates relationships and is also famous for the sunrise.
It would be a great place for a date or for families to visit.
I was worried that it might rain in the afternoon, so I just looked at the Couple Rock and went to the hotel~
I really wanted to visit this place, so I stopped by.
I bought a cheap ticket and traveled freely.

Ise-Shima, Mie Prefecture “TAOYA Ise-Shima Hotel (dinner and breakfast, food and drink set)#食べ放題 #飲み放題
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~

Many tourist areas for local people
Arrived for the second time and loved it.
It’s lively and crowded, but it’s not like internationally famous restaurants such as Tokyo’s Asakusa and Kyoto’s Kiyomizu Temple because 80% of the visitors are local people.
This is the ーおかげyokocho of Ise Inner Palace
There are many commodity shops selling tea, groceries, draft beer, meat, souvenirs, and food. There are lottery draws and shooting in the play area.
Specially recommend the Matsusaka beef skewers and croquettes.
There are several shops selling croquettes. We even bought some and went back to the B&B to fry them ourselves.
Our family arrived on a self-driving tour and stayed for more than an hour. We only left during lunch time. Our group members thought we didn’t have enough fun. It is a very worthwhile attraction.
Note: From the perspective of international tourists, in addition to Nagoya or Kansai, it is more time-saving to drive there by yourself. This needs to be noted.

Ise City, Mie Prefecture, where you can truly feel the Japanese atmosphere!
Ise City is located in Mie Prefecture, below Nagoya, Japan. First of all, unlike other large cities in Mie Prefecture such as Yokkaichi, Tsu, Matsusaka, and Ise, it is a region made up of small cities, so you can feel Japanese culture more closely with nature. In particular, Ise City is a place where you can enjoy traditional Japanese houses and various foods, and there is a shrine, so I would like to tell you that you will not regret choosing it as a tourist course. #Japan #Mie Prefecture #Ise Shrine

"Okage Yokocho, Ise Naiku Mae - おかげ横丁"
In Japanese, the word okage means thankfulness and yokocho means a kind of side street.

Osaka Surrounding Tours Don't just know about Nara, find out where the locals in Japan go for fun
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.

Japanese Historical Cultural Landmark|Ise Shrine (1474)
|Ise Shrine (1474). Ise Shrine in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, is one of the most important shrines in Japan and is also known as the spiritual pillar of Japan. Its establishment dates back to no later than the Emperor Tenmu period in 690, and it is a shrine that brings together elements of ancient Japanese architecture, culture, history, etc.
Wanderlust Kitchen
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!
