Welcome to Ise City

Where Myth andHistory Live Side-by-side
Ise City is located near the heart of the Japanesearchipelago, rich with nature and boundlessnourishment. It is the home to Ise Jingu, a Shinto
shrine known as the spiritual home of the Japanese, and it is here that the stories of Japanesemyth still live and breathe. Since ancient times,
pilgrims have gathered here in Ise from across thecountry, interacting and exchanging ideas. In thisway, Ise has served as a cultural crossroads, spreading a diverse array of ideas and beliefs closely tied
to Japanese spirituality. Even today, the cityremains a cultural touchstone for the people ofJapan as the origin of Japan, and it welcomeseight million visitors every year.

A sacred land for 2,000 years.
Praying to the kami

for peace in this land.

Shogu

Ise Jingu Naiku (Kotaijingu)
The people of Japan have been cultivating rice since before written history, so they understand the necessity of having fertile ground, moderate rainfall, and the gentle light of the sun. Within Ise Jingu’s Naiku, or Inner Shrine,is enshrined the goddess Amaterasu-Omikami, the highest ranked kami – a type of deity – in the Japanese pantheon. Amaterasu-Omikami stands as goddess of the Sun, the source of all life. According to Japanese myth,
Amaterasu-Omikami has been the ancestral kami of the Imperial Family for more than 120 generations of emperors
and empresses, and she is worshipped as the guardian of the Japanese people. Here for 2,000 years people have beenpraying for a rich rice harvest, for peace across the land, and for the safety of the nation. The Naiku is inscribed on thehearts of the people of Japan as a sacred place to raise their voices in serene prayer.

Shinto – the Home of theJapanese Soul
Arising from reverence and gratitude
The Shinto religion is native to Japan and has been
passed down since time immemorial. Within its tenetslie many of the philosophies of the Japanese people.
Shinto is not a monotheistic religion, and it has neither
doctrine nor scripture. In Shinto, the kami are foundwithin all things, from nature and natural phenomena
to people’s own ancestors. Shinto emerged from theancient peoples’ experiences with the natural world
and their relationships with others – from their reverence of the power of nature, and from their gratitude
for the blessings nature brings.

The kami also bring nature’s fury
The kami born from nature are not always tranquil andserene. While the sun nurtures all life, it sometimes
brings drought and famine. While the ocean was thecradle of life on Earth, it sometimes becomes enraged
and strikes out with a tsunami, wreaking destruction.
The Japanese people looked upon such events as resulting from the fury of the kami, and they worship thosekami as aramitama, or wrathful spirits. People pray for
blessings from the kami, and show their reverence ofthem, through regular festivals and ceremonies.

Yaoyorozu-no-kami – the infinite kami
watching over Japan
In addition to the kami of nature, Shinto is home to avariety of other kami, including those responsible forclothing, food, and shelter; those who provide people
with a livelihood; and those who gave birth to thecountry itself. Others enshrined as kami include historical figures who did great things for the country or theirlocal region and the spirits of ancestors who watch overtheir descendants. The term Yaoyorozu-no-kami means
literally “eight million gods”, but it refers to the innumerable number of kami of Japan and perfectly captures the divine ideals of Japan.

Offering thanks andprayers for the

blessings of nature.

Purify the body and mind before
visiting the shrine

Every day for 1,500 years

Kami are worshipped within the many shrines acrossJapan, all of which serve as centers of faith where believers
can pray for continued health and express their gratitude
to the particular kami enshrined there. The kami residewithin mirrors, swords, stones, trees, waterfalls andmore, and they abhor impurity and contamination. This
is why shrines are protected by torii, gates that demarcate
the boundary between the secular and sacred worlds, andwhy worshippers purify their hands and mouths at basins located at the entrances to shrine grounds.

– without fail.

Shogu

Ise Jingu Geku (Toyo’uke-daijingu)
Toyo’uke-no-Omikami is the name of the kami worshipped here at Ise Jingu’s Geku, or Outer Shrine. Toyo’uke-noOmikami – the goddess of agriculture and industry – was enshrined here so she could offer food to Amaterasu-Omikami.
Food is offered to the kami in rituals conducted at the Geku twice a day, in the morning and evening, with offerings
including rice, dried skipjack tuna, fresh fish, seaweed, vegetables, fruits, salt, water and sake. Everything from the foodto the dishes is made exclusively for the use of the kami, and the food is prepared using special fires and pure water
drawn from the well located within the shrine. This ritual was begun when the Geku was first established around 1,500
years ago. Since then, it has been performed every single day without fail, through both war and natural disaster, outof gratitude for the blessings of nature being received and in prayer for the future survival of the people.

Shikinen Sengu

Tsuitachi Mairi

Every twenty years, the kami of Ise Jingu is transferred to a newly constructed shrine in aritual called the Shikinen Sengu. The new shrine is built using traditional techniques, andthe furnishings of the shrine are also made anew. This ensures that the shrine remains in astate of tokowaka, or eternal youth, thereby symbolizing people’s hopes for the continued
and perpetual existence of the kami, the people, and the nation. A great number of festivals
are held and rituals are performed to prepare for the transfer of the kami. The people of Ise
are at the heart of many of those lively events, including the Okihiki Festival, during which
cypress logs are dragged through the city to the shrine. A large amount of cypress wood isrequired to reconstruct the main shrine building, but after the trees are harvested, seedlings
are planted and are carefully nurtured for future harvest. Old timber is also reused in shrinesand other places around Japan. In this way, the Shikinen Sengu also serves as a festival celebrating the regeneration of trees, and as a symbol of Japan’s close connection to wood.

Tsuitachi Mairi is a custom at Ise Jingu that involves getting up early on the firstday of the month to visit the shrine. Worshippers give thanks to the kami forkeeping them healthy through the previous month and offer prayers for a similar outcome in the coming month. Many local customs from previous generations are still practiced in the modern day. One such custom involves visiting
the shrine monthly to start the new month with a clean spiritual slate. Visitors
are rewarded by being able to visit the shops in okage-yokocho – a side street located in the middle of the Oharai-machi around the gate to the Naiku – manyof which open early in the morning on those days. Shrine visitors are welcomedwith monthly special sweets, rice cakes, and bowls of rice porridge. It is a truly
festive atmosphere. It is a testament to the symbiotic relationship between thecity and the shrine, and to the hospitality of the community.

watch over Ise Jingu.

The Meoto Iwa (the married rocks) – Futami Okitama Shrine

Asamadake

Travelers making their way to Ise Jingu would gather here at Futamiura to purify themselvesin the ocean waters before completing their pilgrimage. Futami Okitama Shrine is located on
the eastern edge of the seashore here, and enshrined within is Sarutahiko-noOkami, the kami of guidance. What makes the Futamiura landscape even more divine are
two rocks – one smaller than the other – known as the Meoto Iwa. They are bound together
by five intertwined ropes 10 centimeters thick and 35 meters long – creating a symbol ofmarriage. It also forms a torii for those worshiping the morning sun and a spirit stone called
the okitama shinseki that lies below the surface of the bay, calming the waters. For approximately a month around the summer solstice, visitors can watch the sunrise from the waters
beyond and between the two rocks. Similarly, the full moon can be seen to rise from between
the rocks from October to January. Around the shore can be found a number of statues offrogs – the futami kaeru – which are said to serve as messengers to Sarutahiko-no-Okami.

The ancient Japanese discipline of onmyodo taught that the northeast was the
direction in which lay the origin of bad things. A Buddhist temple called Asamadake Kongoshoji lies to the northeast of Ise Jingu, which stands guard protecting the shrine from evil. It was once a custom among pilgrims to visit the
temple after they prayed at the shrine. The scarlet-painted main hall and arched
bridge stand in vivid yet dignified contrast to the green of the surrounding trees.
Meanwhile, the observatory offers a view of Ise Bay, and on a clear day, the silhouette of Mount Fuji can be seen off in the distance. At the height of 555
meters, hikers can enjoy a pleasant climb from the foot of the mountain to boththe temple and the summit. Get a reminder of your hike by sending yourself apostcard from the “post box in the sky” at the observatory of Iseshima Skyline
near the top of the mountain.

Ise Trivia Some interesting local tidbits
How to purify your hands
and pray to kami
Before entering the shrine grounds, visitors
must cleanse themselves by washing theirhands at the temizuya. First, take the ladle in theright hand and use it to pour water over the left
hand. Then repeat the process with the opposite
hand. Cup your left hand and fill it with waterfrom the ladle, then rinse your mouth with thewater, and wash your left hand again. Finally,clean the handle of the ladle by filling it, then holding it vertically to allow the water to pour out.
When praying to kami, the formal custom is to bow twice, clap twice, then bow once again.

Shrine goods
Ise Jingu is considered to be the most sacred of Japanese shrine complexes. Pilgrims purchase talismans and other items at shrines and display them in kamidana at their homes, with the items from
Ise in the front, followed by items from the local ujigami shrines, then other shrines. Amulets andtalismans can be purchased from the Naiku and Geku at their respective kaguraden facilities.
*Holidays above generally omit year-end holidays, golden week, O-bon, and temporary closures.
