[ “Ise-Jingu” Shrine @ Mie Pref ]

“Ise-Jingu” is a Shinto shrine in Ise, Mie prefecture.
“Ise-Jingu” worships the God (the “Amaterasu Oomikami”) which divinized the sun, and the God (the “Toyoukebime”) of food, clothing and shelter.

There are two original shrines in “Ise-Jingu”.
“Amaterasu Oomikami” is enshrined in “Koutai-Jinguu” (another name “Naiku” in general). And “Toyoukebime” is enshrined in “TouyoukedaiJingu” (another name “Geku” in general).

I went to “Ise-Jingu” Shrine! And this time, I visited the “Naiku”.

It is said that “Ise-Jingu” has a lot of power spots. Especially, it is said that the God of love (the strongest in Japan) to be worshiped in “Naiku”.
If you are a woman, you should go “Naiku”!
Only a walk in “Ise-Jingu”… I really feel having got divine.

Every day “Ise-Jingu” is crowded with people, but you can worship till 18:00.

If you go at about 16:00, there is hardly any people. You can feel monopolistic state by the vast cultivated “Ise-Jingu”. I recommend that you visit in the evening.
