About This Video

Located in the city of Ise, Mie prefecture Ise Grand Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the Amaterasu-Omikami goddess. Spread across a vast part of Ise, the Grand Shrine is mainly composed of two major complexes known as Naiku and Geku. Being the principal temple of Ise Grand Shrine, Naiku, is by far the most beautiful shrine of all, with trees as old as 800 years.

As one of Japan’s most sacred shrines, only a small number of photos or videos are allowed to be taken. Many partitions keep the secret beauty of this place intact and only available to a certain few. Simple yet majestic, the shrine is unlike many others in Japan. Rebuilt every 20 years from top to bottom including the Uji Bridge. Uji is a 100m long bridge which is the only way for people like us to access the shrine.
