Visit < Ise Shrine > |
|
More than six millions pilgrims and worshipers
come to Ise Jingu every year |
| |
 |
|
Ise Shrine is the highest ranking shrine
in Japan.
It tries to preseve the original shinto way
of thinking and praying. It is famous
for Hatsumode, the first visit to the shrine
in January. It is built in a natural
setting so, your visit to Ise Shrine involves
walking past Isuzu river through tall evergreens.
The shrines are rebuilt every 25 years old,
so they are very new. Still today, Japanese
come from all over to visit the shrine. Ise
Shrine is a place of worship for Amateras,
the god of the Sun. Amateras is a female
god. She is descendant of the Emperor Tenno
and descendant of all Japanese. She resides
at Ise Jingu. Near Ise Shrine is yamatto
Princess Shrine. This shrine represents Princess
Yamatto who helped Amateras find her place
at Ise. |

a) Meditation at the river |
|
The Isuzu River |
| |
 |
|
Beyond the daiichi torii (first sacred gateway) are stone steps that
lead to the Isizi River. Since
ancient
times pilgrims have made their ablutions
here prior to worshiping before the
main
sanctuary, thus purifying body and
mind by
washing their hands in , and rinsing
their
mouth with, the waters of the sacred
Isuzu
River. |
| |
b) Special ceremony with Shinto priest |
|
Sacred dance |
| |
 |
|
As an expression of gratitude for blessings,
or again as a prayer for divine protection
or assistance, worshipers delicate kagura
(sacred dance) to the deities. It is
distinctively Japanese forms of court
dance performed to the sound of ancient music.
Note: Because we are going inside the shrine
for the special ceremony,
you must not show your legs, bring
either
a skart or dress and light trousers. |
| |
c) Naiku Shrine (Meditation and Pray) |
|
Main Sanctuary |
| |
 |
|
Amaterasu God is enshrined in the main sanctuary
building of the inner sanctum of Naiku, in
which the august mirror (the symbol of the
kami, or goshintai) is kept and worshiped.
As they are most sacred, neither the
august mirror nor the main sanctuary building
may be seen by pilgrims or other visitors.
Within the inner sanctum are located
treasuries to the left and right of the main
sanctuary building. |
