Itinerario

1. The Inner Shrine (内宮, Naikū) is one of the two main shrines making up the Ise Shrines in Ise City. Formally known as Kotai Jingu, the Inner Shrine enshrines Shinto's most venerated deity, the Sun Goddess (Amaterasu Omikami), and is considered Japan's most sacred shrine. The Inner Shrine is believed to have been established over 2000 years ago. Its main buildings resemble ancient rice granaries and are built in an architectural style that shows almost no influence from the Asian mainland, as they predate the introduction of Buddhism. Both, the Inner and Outer Shrine, are rebuilt from scratch every 20 years. The 62nd rebuilding was completed in 2013. The 63rd rebuilding will take place in 2033.

2. Oharaimachi (おはらい町) is the traditional approach to the Inner Shrine of Ise. Nearly one kilometer long, it is lined by many traditional style buildings, housing shops and restaurants. Some of the businesses found here have been serving pilgrims and tourists for several centuries.

   1,5 h

3. The Mikimoto Pearl Island (ミキモト真珠島, Mikimoto Shinjujima) is an excellent museum about pearls, pearl cultivation and Mikimoto Kokichi, the pioneer who first succeeded in cultivating pearls. The island is located in the Bay of Toba, accessible via a bridge. Mikimoto Kokichi was born in Toba in 1858 and became the first person to successfully cultivate pearls in 1893. He opened the first Mikimoto Pearl Store in 1899. The Mikimoto Kokichi Memorial Hall introduces his life story. Also located on the island, the Pearl Museum provides detailed explanations about pearls and the cultivation of pearls in Japanese and English. In the adjacent Pearl Plaza you can view and purchase a wide variety of pearl jewelry.

   1,5 h

4. Meoto Iwa (夫婦岩, the Wedded Rocks) are two sacred rocks in the ocean near Futami, a small town in Ise City. The larger of the two rocks represents the husband and the smaller one represents the wife. Both rocks are connected by a shimenawa rope which acts as the division between the spiritual and earthly realms. In a ceremony, the shimenawa rope is replaced three times a year.

About Osaka

Osaka, detta la cucina del Giappone, è una generosa città portuale di canali al neon, cibo di strada e un grande castello, vicino a Kyoto, Nara e Kobe.

Dotonbori, la striscia di divertimenti lungo il canale, è il cuore pulsante della città, con il suo granchio meccanico gigante e le insegne luminose che si riflettono nell'acqua. Nei dintorni, le gallerie coperte di Shinsaibashi e la strada degli utensili da cucina di Doguyasuji richiamano chi fa acquisti, e il mercato di Kuromon tenta con frutti di mare, spiedini di wagyu e frutta.

Top-ranked sights in Osaka: Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka Castle (Osaka-jo), Nara Park (Nara Koen).
