A Traditional Ise Pilgrimage Starting from Futami
Experience a Local’s Recommended Pilgrimage to Ise (Day Trip)
In the past, visitors to Ise Jingu would perform a purification ritual at Futamiura before proceeding to the Geku (Outer Shrine) and then the Naiku (Inner Shrine). Additionally, a verse in the traditional Ise Ondo song says, 'If you visit Ise, you must also climb Asama; without it, your pilgrimage is incomplete,' emphasizing the custom of visiting Kongoshoji Temple on Mount Asama as part of the journey.
