The Grand Ise Jingu
Chris GlennThe Grand Shrine of Ise comprises two separate shrines, the Naiku and Geku. From ancient times, worshippers would visit the Geku first, then the Naiku.
Located in Mie Prefecture, the Ise Grand Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the sun goddess. Supposedly, the shrine or “Jingu” as it is commonly called, is home to the Sacred Mirror; this mirror was the one that drew Amaterasu from hiding and brought light back to the world. In reality, Ise Jingu is a complex of shrines centered around two main shrines, Naiku and Geku.
The inner shrine is Naiku, said to be where Amaterasu dwells even today. Whereas the outer shrine, Geku, is located about six kilometers from Naiku and dedicated to Toyouke-Omikami, the god of agriculture, rice, and harvest. There are an additional 123 shrines in Ise City surrounding both Naiku and Geku. The shrine buildings at Naiku and Geku are rebuilt every 20 years based upon a Shinto belief of death and renewal.
The shrine was established in 4 BCE when Princess Yamatohime no Mikoto wandered for twenty years looking for a place to worship the sun goddess. Upon arriving in Ise, Yamatohime received a message from Amaterasu saying that this was the land where she wished to reside. Today, only a person of the royal lineage may be the high priest or priestess of Ise Jingu.

Hidden in Oharai, a small town near Ise Jingu, the Okage Yokocho (gratitude side street) opened in 1993. Here, the buildings are constructed in reverence to the gods of the Shinto shrines of Ise. You’ll find souvenir shops and restaurants aplenty along this old-fashioned side street—it’s open daily from 9:30 to 5:30 pm.
The inner and outer shrines are some 6 kilometers apart, therefore it's recommended that you visit by bus. Buses depart from Ujiyamada and Iseshi stations.

Le grand sanctuaire d’Ise est composé de deux sanctuaires bien distincts, le Naikū et le Gekū. Depuis les temps anciens, les pèlerins ont pour coutume de se rendre au Gekū avant de rejoindre le Naikū.
Ise Jingu in Ise City is the most sacred Shinto shrine in Japan. Last year (2013) the famous Shikinen Sengu ceremony was held again, when the shrine is completely rebuilt, every twenty years. However, it is not all about the shrine buildings; pilgrimage has always played an important role in this area and eating and drinking on the way was important. So just like in the past, having some food before approaching or after visiting the grand shrine is indispensable. The famous dishes here are Akafuku (mochi covered in sweet red bean paste) and Ise Udon (udon soaked in soy-based sauce).
이세 시에 있는 이세 신궁은 일본에서 제일 신성한 신사로 유명하다. 작년(2013)에 20년마다 건물을 다시 짓기로 유명한 '식년천궁' 의식이 다시 치뤄졌었다. 신사 건물 뿐만 아니라, 이 곳은 순례길(참배길)과 먹거리, 마실거리로도 유명하다. 과거와 마찬가지로, 신궁에 다가가거나 방문 후에 음식을 먹는 것은 불가피한 일인 것이다. 유명한 음식으로는 아카후쿠 (단팥앙금이 들어있는 모찌)와 이세 우동(간장 육수에 담궈진 우동)이 있다.

Исэ Дзингу в городе Исэ – это самый почитаемый синтоистский храм в Японии. В прошлом году (2013), когда храм был полностью восстановлен, была снова проведена знаменитая церемония Сикинэн Сэнгу, проводимая каждые двадцать лет. Однако нельзя обойтись упоминанием лишь одних зданий; в этой местности важную роль играет паломничество, выпивать и есть по пути также очень важно. Таким образом, как и в прошлом, перекусить немного перед приходом или после визита величественного храма является неотъемлемой частью паломничества. Излюбленными блюдами здесь являются Акафуку (моти, покрытый сладкой красной бобовой пастой) и Исэ Удон (удон, подающийся в соусе на основе сои).

Ise Jingu Naiku mengabadikan Dewa Matahari. Yang merupakan leluhur Dewa Kekaisaran dan leluhur Dewa semua orang Jepang!
Ise Jingu di kota Ise adalah kuil Shinto paling keramat di Jepang. Tahun lalu (2013) upacara Shikinen Sengu yang terkenal diadakan lagi, ketika kuil sudah dibangun kembali secara utuh, setiap dua puluh tahun. Meski begitu, ini bukanlah tentang bangunan kuil saja, karena peziarah memainkan peran pentingnya di daerah ini dan kegiatan makan dan minum dalam perjalanan sangatlah penting. Jadi seperti di masa lalu, menyantap makanan sebelum mendekati atau setelah mengunjungi kuil agung ini sangat diperlukan. Hidangan terkenal di daerah ini adalah Akafuku (mochi dilapisi pasta kacang merah manis) dan Udon Ise (udon direndam dalam saus berbahan kedelai).

Vì vậy, giống như trong quá khứ, Việc ăn một số thứ trước khi đến và sau khi tham quan ngôi đền trang nghiêm là không thể thiếu. Những món ăn nổi tiếng ở đây phải kể đến Akafuku ( mochi phủ đậu đỏ ngọt) và Ise Udon ( udon được ngâm trong nước tương đậu nành).

Oharai-machi (おはらい町) is a small traditional town that prospered outside the gates of the entrance of Ise Jingu Shrine — Japan's most sacred shrine. As a traditional approach, it spans almost one kilometer in length and is lined with a variety of shops and restaurants.
In Mie Prefecture, not far from the city of Futami, which belongs to the city of Ise, are the Meoto Iwa rocks, which are also called" The Married Rocks ". These two sacred rocks in the sea near the coast are not far from the Futami-Okitama Shrine, the Ryuugu Shrine and also near the famous Ise Shrine itself. The two rocks are connected with a so-called Shimenawa. This is a ritual rope made of rice straw. This fact gave them the nickname "The Married Rocks" In the belief of the Shinto religion, these two rocks represent the union of the pair of gods Izanagi and Izanami, who, according to legend, are the two central gods "Kami" in the myth of the origin of Japan.
