Ise Jingu - 伊勢神宮

伊勢神宮
　伊勢神宮は公式には”伊勢”をつけずに”神宮”と呼ばれる。伊勢神宮は、皇室の祖神である天照大神が奉られている内宮と、農業と産業の神である豊受大御神が奉られている外宮からなる。

Ise Jingu.
　Jingu is often introduced in the dictionary as "Ise Jingu." However, the official name is "Jingu" without "Ise." Jingu is principally composed of the Naiku where Amaterasu Omikami, the ancestral kami of the Imperial Family, is worshiped, and Geku where Toyouke Omikami, the kami of agriculture and industry, is worshiped.
