The highest ranking shrine! Ise Shrine!

This time, we came to Ise Grand Shrine in Ise City, Mie Prefecture! Ise Grand Shrine is divided into two parts, Shimomiya and Naiku, which are not next to each other but are about 5km apart. The gods are different in each part, so it is said that it is common to visit Shimomiya first and then take a bus or taxi to visit Naiku. Shimomiya is about a 5-minute walk from Ise-shi Station. Just go straight down the approach to the shrine and you will arrive! Some of the buses that connect Shimomiya and Naiku are retro buses with a streetcar design. Although it is not in the photo, a recommended souvenir is Akafuku mochi. The sweetness of the bean paste and the chewy texture of the mochi are addictive and delicious! #tripmemory2022 #IseGrandShrine #IseJinguNaiku #IseTrip #Shrine #ShrineTour
