Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto shrine complex in Ise, Japan.
The Ise Grand Shrine consists of two primary sanctuaries, Naiku dedicated to Amaterasu and Geku dedicated to Toyouke, spread across 125 individual shrines.
Established in the 4th century, the shrine gained prominence during the Heian period when it became a central pilgrimage site for Japanese people of all social classes.
The shrine maintains the Shikinen Sengu tradition, rebuilding its structures every 20 years to symbolize renewal and preserve ancient carpentry techniques.
The shrine complex opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with separate entrances for the Inner Shrine and Outer Shrine, accessible via bus from Ise-shi Station.
The Inner Shrine houses the Sacred Mirror, one of Japan's Three Sacred Treasures, within its innermost sanctum, which remains hidden from public view.
