One of, if not the holiest place for the Japanese indigenous belief system 'Shinto'. The first of two complexes that form the ancient ' Ise Jingu', believed to be connected to the sun goddess, from whom the Emperor is traditionally considered a descendant of. This is the outer complex , with the inner complex down the road. You can get there via bus from just outside the shrine grounds. Seemingly made of only wood and thatch , the design is very simple compared to the complexes you've seen in Kyoto or Nara, and even other smaller Shinto shrines scattered around Japan. The emphasis is on the beauty of natural materials and the surrounding woods.

Simple yet beautiful, ancient Outer Ise Shrine complex. Solid timbers constituting the centuries-old structures at the main shrine and across the several smaller surrounding shrines. Embedded in the lush forest. First stop before heading to the Inner Ise Shrine.

Visited the shrine for the third time and was my first time to visit the outer shrine ( jingu geku)it reminded me of arashiyama in kyoto. The have beautiful sceneries of old Japanese style shops. You will enjoy eating and want to try everything you see. They have good food and lots for souvenirs. I recommend to visit this side when visiting the main shrine( jingu naika)
