"Find Luck in Spiritual Town" Ise by taigaa001

Most of the Ise visitors pray for their health and happiness at Inner Shrine(Naiku) of Ise Grand Shrine. But Inner Shrine is only a part of the Grand Shrine complex. That day I could only visit the Inner Shrine. I hope I can visit the other parts of the Grand Shrine someday. As a rule, the visitors are to visit the outer Shrine(Geku) first and Inner Shrine the next but recently many tourists only visit Naiku(Inner Shrine) and get elsewhere or enjoy shopping.

Akafuku shop near the Inner Shrine

One of the most hot-selling sweets in Japan, Akafuku, is produced in Ise. You can even buy this rice-cake with red-bean jam in Nagoya. But buying this delicacy here in Ise means something.

Lucky Cats are one of the favorite souvenirs

Ise is a must-visit place for Lucky Cat(Manekineko) fans around the world. What's good about this place is both Tokoname cats and Seto cats share the same floor. It is really a fitting place for fortune beckoning figurines.
