The audio guide for non-Japanese speakers as advertised on the website is no longer available. There is no foreign language support whatsoever, but the museum is inexpensive so maybe still worth visiting if you're in the area and have time.

Very beautiful museum on the history and making of Ise Shrine. Educational for knowledge oriented travelers. No photography inside the museum though. The building and the garden itself will be suffice to make an impression on your journey.

The museum is beautiful and seems very well documented but it is a shame that a museum located in such a touristic venue as Ise Jingu doesn’t have any English translated content even not a leaflet…

Introduction of the 20-year moving and some ceremonies happens in the Jjngu. No English on the info board though. Camera/Pen are not allowed in the museum.

It's beautiful. The displays and presentation and everything are beautiful, but unless your Japanese is very good you'd be better off to buy a guide book to the history, ceremonies, and architecture of the Jingu. The audio guide mostly just tells you what things are without explaining any meaning.
