ISE JINGU
- SHINTO SHRINES, JAPAN -
G'day folks,
Known as "the soul of Japan," Ise Jingu
includes 125 Shinto shrines dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu.
While it’s extremely popular, the place is never too crowded and always
provides a relaxing and tranquil environment. Every year, more than
1,500 rituals are conducted here to pray for the imperial family and for
the peace of the world.
Also referred to as the home of the Japanese spirit, you can feel the
origins of Japan in this sacred site. Ise Jingu has been a place to
correspond with nature for more than 2,000 years and the location
attracted tourists from the days before railways and cars.
With the
cedar trees and a clear running stream in the shrine complex, you will
find very few environments in the world as soothing as this. Even a
short stroll around the place is sure to make you feel calmer and more
focused.
