Bustling with worshippers, Ise Shrine Geku represents the outer shrine of the iconic Ise-Jingu (Grand Shrine). Drawing nearly 7 million visitors each year, this shrine remains one of Japan's holiest Shinto sites and features a small edifice stripped of ornamentation and nestled among rocks and trees. A guide from the local tourist office can provide more insight and explain the history and significance of this historic site. Plan my day in Ise using traveler tips and tourist information provided by Inspirock.

  お正月は初詣で混んでいると聞いていたので離れた駐車場からシャトルバスで行きました。思っていたほど混んでいなかったのでちゃんと参拝できました。  more »

  I heard that new year's day was crowded at the new year's shrine, so I took a shuttle bus from the parking lot away. It was not as crowded as I had expected, so I was able to visit the shrine properly.

  内宮と異なり外宮は伊勢市駅からまっすぐ進んだ場所にあります。徒歩でも行けるアクセスの便利さです。中は背の高い木々で囲まれており自然を感じることができます。本宮だけでなくいくつかの小さな宮もあります。  more »

  Unlike Uchinomiya, Tonomiya is located straight ahead of Ise-shi Station. It is convenient to go even on foot. Inside is surrounded by tall trees and you can feel nature. There are several small palaces as well as the main shrine.
