Discover the most sacred Shinto shrine in Japan: Ise-jingû
Jour 7 – Ise
Jour 7 – Ise Discover the most sacred Shinto shrine in Japan: Ise-jingû
- This morning, discover the most sacred Shinto shrine in Japan: Ise-jingû, which is actually made up of two separate sites, five kilometres (about 3 miles) apart: Gekû and Naiku.
- According to official Japanese history, Nihon Shoki, dates back to 720. It is said that the goddess Amaterasu Omikami, the mythical ancestor of the Imperial Family lived there when it was first built. That is why some buildings are surrounded by a wall and can only be entered by the Imperial Family. Nevertheless, the shrines are built in a wonderful setting.
- In the heart of a thick forest of cypress trees and cedars, the buildings were built entirely out of wood, following the pre-Buddhist architectural style, making them appear stern and forbidding but also quite imposing. Naikû stretches out along the banks of Isuzugawa river, which you will cross as you enter on Uji bashi bridge.
- The specificity of Ise is that, every twenty years, all the buildings (approximately 200) are precisely rebuilt in neighbouring locations. This is done following the ancient techniques to the letter: no nails are used, only wooden dowels and interlocking joints. Once the buildings have been rebuilt, the God of the shrine is taken to his new house during a secret ceremony. The current buildings were erected in 1993 and will be rebuilt, for the 62nd time, in 2013.
- You can also visit the historical village of Oharai machi, built alongside the Isuzu river, which has flourished since the Edo Period by housing pilgrims on their way to Naiku.
- Lunch and dinner at your leisure
- Spend the night in the 3* Hoshidekan Ryokan in Ise (or similar).

After this visit, you will know everything about pearl culture: from choosing oysters to fishing, which is done by women: the Ama.
- Then continue along the coast until you reach the town of Futami, which houses the famous Wedded Rocks, connected by a sacred rope: the Meoto Iwa. Every year, on the 5th of January, this cord, which symbolises marriage, is replaced during a grand ceremony. Finally, you can take a lovely trip to Yokoyama Observatory, which offers a remarkable panoramic view of the 60 islands of Ago Bay.
- In the evening, you will take a train to the small town of Yoshino, where you will spend the night.
