Ise
Starting 2000 years back, the Ise Shrine in Ise city has enshrined the Kami* of the Sun who appears in Japanese mythology. The Kami is said to be an ancestor of the Emperor and the Kami of all Kami for the Japanese.
This shrine is ranked highest of all shrines in Japan and is also considered the most sacred place of the nation as well.
Every two decades, the Japanese follow a tradition called Shikinen Sengu, which is the transfer of a deity to a newly built temple. The Shikinen Sengu helps preserve old forms to be in their newest state.
You don't know anything about Japan without visiting this worldly rare heritage.
In addition to the Ise Shrine, Ise has many "power spots" ---spots with good energy believed to bring its visitors good luck. "Meotoiwa", meaning wedded rocks, is one among many.
There are plenty of local foods unique to Ise that visitors that can never get enough of once they are tasted.
