About This Tour
This immersive Ise tour is the only guided experience that follows the traditional pilgrimage order—starting at the Outer Shrine (Gekū), dedicated to the deity of daily life, and continuing to the Inner Shrine (Naikū), Japan’s most sacred Shinto site devoted to the sun goddess Amaterasu. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you'll gain insight into the spiritual meaning, myths, and architectural beauty of Ise Jingu, a place of national reverence for over 2,000 years. After visiting both shrines, guests enjoy a cultural stroll through Oharaimachi, a preserved Edo-period street where pilgrims once relaxed and today’s travelers can sample traditional sweets like Akafuku mochi. For added comfort, an optional upgrade includes a scenic ride on a limited express train from Nagoya, letting you begin your journey in ease. Whether you're seeking spiritual depth, cultural discovery, or a peaceful escape into Japan's timeless traditions, this tour offers an unforgettable and authentic experience.
