@goods.soul7: Ise Grand Shrine (Ise Jingū) is one of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan. It is located in Mie Prefecture and is dedicated to Amaterasu, the sun goddess and ancestor of the Japanese imperial family. The shrine was first built around the 3rd century. Since then, it has been rebuilt every 20 years in a tradition called Shikinen Sengū. This tradition shows the idea of renewal and keeping things pure in Shinto belief. Ise Jingū is actually a group of many shrines, but the two main ones are Naikū (Inner Shrine) and Gekū (Outer Shrine). Naikū is dedicated to Amaterasu, while Gekū is dedicated to Toyouke, the deity of food and agriculture. Today, Ise Jingū is a very sacred place and many people visit it for prayer and cultural experience. #三重県 #ise #japan #伊勢神宮
