Eric and I headed out of Kyoto to nearby Mie prefecture on Day three of our trip. It was a Monday, so a little less crowded, but being Spring Break and a decent day weather-wise, there were still plenty of people visiting Ise Jingu - the most sacred of all Shinto Shrines in Japan.
Read more about this very important place in Japan here:

We had about 3 hours to tour both the inner and outer shrines, but the scenery was so nice and the walking around so pleasant that the time just flew by and we had to get back on our train for the 2 hour trip back to Kyoto.
Enjoy the pics!

Konnichiwa Minnasan! Hello All! Thanks for visiting to read about my adventures in rural Japan. I lived in Shimane prefecture from July of 2004 to July of 2009 as a member of the Jet Programme. Then I went back to Shimane from October 2010 to February 2016 to teach at a Japanese university. Now I teach history at a private high school where the Japanese students learn in English. Thanks for stopping by!
