Tsukiyomi-no-miya

Tsukiyomi-no-miya is a Shinto shrine in Ise built in the traditional Shinmei-zukuri architectural style. The structure features wooden construction and a simply designed roof that reflects classical Japanese wooden building methods.

This shrine belongs to the Ise Shrine complex and was dedicated to Tsukiyomi, an important figure in Japanese mythology. Like other structures in the complex, it follows ancient building practices that have been preserved across generations.

This shrine is dedicated to Tsukiyomi, the moon goddess, with a name that translates to "moon palace." Visitors come to offer prayers and gifts, participating in a practice that has connected people to this sacred place for centuries.

Visiting is best done on foot, as the shrine is located in a quieter part of the larger shrine complex. Dress respectfully and be aware that some areas may be restricted to tourists.

The shrine is part of one of Japan's oldest and most sacred sites, yet it remains less known than the main complex structure. This quietness preserves a tranquil quality and allows for deeper personal experiences at the location.
