Ise Jingu Shrine cleanses the soul and walks with nature and faith⛩️🌿

Walking into the Ise Grand Shrine is like walking into a forest sanctuary deep in time. The towering cedar trees on both sides of the shrine silently guard the shrine, and the air is filled with the fragrance of cypress and soil. My steps also slowed down unconsciously. From the outer palace to the inner palace, I walked through the hand-washing pond and Uji Bridge step by step, and finally came to the main hall. I bowed my head and felt the unprecedented peace of mind. Ise Grand Shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, one of the most important shrines in Japan, and has been the spiritual sustenance of the Japanese for thousands of years. There are no fortunes sold here, because coming here is not to seek answers, but to find the inner clarity. On the way to worship, you can also see the horses walking leisurely, or listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, as if talking to the heaven and earth. This is a journey of cleansing and meditation, and it also makes me feel the Japanese belief that "nature is God" again. 📍Check-in location: Ise Grand Shrine (Ise City, Mie Prefecture) --- #Ise Grand Shrine #Meditation Tour #Ise Free Travel #Shinto Culture #Japanese Spiritual Tour #Inner Palace and Outer Palace #Uji Bridge #Must-visit Sacred Sites in Japan #Ise Sacred Sites #Good Places to Visit in May 2025
