Begin your tour at Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred and historic shinto sanctuary in Japan. Surrounded by an ancient forest, this spiritual site has a history spanning over 2,000 years. You will experience the tranquil atmosphere, see the traditional wooden architecture, and learn about the deep cultural significance this shrine holds for the Japanese people.
End your tour at Okage Yokocho, a lively district located right in front of Naiku. This area recreates the charming townscape of the Edo and Meiji periods. It is the perfect place to explore local food culture—don't miss trying "Ise Udon" (soft noodles in a rich sauce) or "Akafuku" (sweet bean paste over mochi), and browse for traditional Japanese crafts and souvenirs.
