Ise Grand Shrine in Mie Prefecture is traditionally dedicated to Amaterasu and regarded as Japan’s most sacred shrine.
The complex is formally called Jingū and consists principally of Inner Shrine, Naikū, and Outer Shrine, Gekū, along with numerous subsidiary shrines. Naikū is dedicated to Amaterasu, while Gekū is dedicated to Toyouke Ōmikami, a kami associated with food and agriculture who serves Amaterasu.
Ise’s principal sanctuary is rebuilt on a regular cycle, traditionally every twenty years, in a practice called Shikinen Sengū. The rebuilding preserves architectural forms and ritual knowledge while allowing new materials and craftsmen to carry on the tradition. The sacred mirror associated with Amaterasu is kept within Naikū and is not displayed publicly.
Ise Grand Shrine is not the same as Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, which honors Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken. Nor is it Fushimi Inari Taisha, famous for its fox imagery and rows of torii.
