Full Description
Begin your spiritual and cultural adventure in Ise, a city deeply rooted in Japanese mythology and religious tradition. Your knowledgeable guide will lead you through Ise Grand Shrine (Ise Jingu), a sacred site dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu and considered the most important shrine in all of Shinto.
You’ll visit both Naiku (Inner Shrine) and Geku (Outer Shrine), connected by quiet, wooded paths that offer a peaceful atmosphere away from the crowds. Learn about the shrine’s 2,000-year-old history, its reconstruction every 20 years, and the ancient ceremonies still practiced here today.
Next, step into the lively and nostalgic streets of Okage Yokocho, a beautifully reconstructed Edo-period district. Sample local delicacies, browse handmade souvenirs, and meet friendly shopkeepers in traditional attire. From Ise Udon to Akafuku mochi, your guide will help you discover the tastes and stories behind the area’s food culture.
