Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Dating all the way back to the 3rd century, the Ise Grand Shrine is the most sacred Shinto Shrine in the country. Dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu, it consists of two principal parts: The Naiku Inner Shrine and the Geku Outer Shrine. The architectural style of the buildings resembles the style used to construct ancient rice granaries, but both the inner and outer shrines are fairly new, as Shinto tradition requires that they be rebuilt from scratch every 20 years. Visitors are welcome on the grounds between sunrise and sunset, and small English guidebooks are available free of charge.
