Naiku

The main pavilion housing Amaterasu and the divine
mirror are in the innermost courtyard enclosed withinfour rows of wooden fences.
Worshippers pay homage in front of the thirdrow gate. In this area it is strictly forbidden to takepictures or videos. Special ceremonies take place inthe next level courtyard, but beyond that only theemperor and high-ranking priests are allowed.

Geku

Geku is the other major shrine dedicated to
Toyo’uke-no-Omikami, the guardian deityof clothing, food and shelter. It is a shortwalk southwest from the Iseshi station
through a shopping district, although
not as pronounced as Oharai-machi, there is a diversity of shops andrestaurants.
Unlike Naiku there are two entrances to the grounds. Like Naiku theatmosphere is solemn with the shrine approach on gravel amongst
a mature, old-growth forest. Buildings that offer similar functions toNaiku are scattered over the grounds.
Near the main entrance is the Sengukan museum, which has exhibitions
on the unique rebuilding ceremony that takes place every 20 years
when all of the shrines in Ise are taking down and rebuilt from scratch.
