Photos of Ise Grand Shrine

Ise Jingu is a shrine located in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, Japan. It was designated as the main body of the main hall of the shrine, and its official name is Jingu. It is the main representative of Japanese shrines. This is where the emperor of Japan pays homage to his ancestors every year. The inner palace, which opened in 2 BC, was a special shrine that did not allow civilians to visit. It was not open to civilians until after the 12th century, and the shopping district "Monzencho" in front of the palace also developed. The Ise Jingu is mainly composed of the Inner Imperial Palace and the Outer Palace Toyoda Shrine. The inner palace worships Amaterasu and the outer palace worships Fengshou. In addition, there are a series of palaces such as other palaces, photography clubs, end clubs, and management clubs, which are also collectively referred to as shrines. Commonly known as Ise Jingu 125 Shrine. This shrine preserves the Yata Mirror, one of the three sacred artifacts of the Japanese imperial power. According to the "Japanese Shoji", when the Sun of Heaven descended, the Great God Amaterasu once said: "Look at this precious mirror, and you should still look at me. Sharing the temple with the same bed, I think it is a mirror." Heike Story tells that the Tiancong Yunjian, which is also one of the three sacred weapons, is said to have sunk to the bottom of the sea with Emperor Anto in the Battle of Tannoura. The main shrine of the shrine is rebuilt every 20 years according to the original model, which is called the shrine-style shrine. After the reconstruction, the replaced building materials will be distributed to other shrines and facilities in the shrine, or given to shrines all over Japan for reuse.
