<Places to Visit>
Ise Shrine
Ise shrine consists of 125 shrines, including the Outer Shrine and the Inner Shrine. The Outer Shrine of Ise Shrine is one of the two main shrines of Ise Shrine, along with the Inner Shrine, and enshrines Toyouke-no-Omikami, the deity responsible for food, clothing, and shelter. Toyouke-no-Omikami was enshrined here about 1,500 years ago as the deity in charge of food for Amaterasu Omikami at the Inner Shrine. The Outer Shrine is usually visited prior to the Inner Shrine.
Asama-dake Kongosho-ji Temple
Asama-dake Kongosho-ji Temple is a Shingon Buddhism temple located in Ise City, and is known as the temple that guards the demon gate of Ise Shrine. Located near the summit of Mt. Asama, 555 meters above sea level, the temple is said to have been founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai (Japanese Buddhist monk who founded the Shingon Buddhism.). The main hall is designated as a national tangible cultural property.
Mikimoto Pearl Island
Mikimoto Pearl Island is located in Toba City, and is associated with Kokichi Mikimoto, the first person in the world to successfully cultivate pearls. It is a place where we can experience the history and technology of pearl cultivation and the beauty of pearls.
