Buddhists should come to Ise Jingu
"Shinto" is an ancient, traditional religion of Japan, and "Ise Jingu" (Ise Grand Shrine)is the center of the Shinto world.
Amaterasu Omikami, the sun deity and the ancestor of Japan's imperial family is said to be enshrined there.
For this reason, Ise Jingu is said to be the spiritual hometown of the Japanese people, or a sacred space where traditional Japanese scenery remains from ancient times.
Ise Jingu has a history of 2,000 years in mythology, and more than 1,400 years in reality, but its appearance has never changed or remained the same.
The Ise Shrine we see today was built about 150 years ago, and before that it was heavily influenced by Buddhism.
There were many temples around Ise Jingu. At these temples, Buddhist events were held to dedicate to Amaterasu Omikami.
For example, high-ranking monks held Buddhist services at Ise Shrine to ensure the success of the reconstruction of the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple in Nara.
Also, when Ise Grand Shrine was devastated by war, Buddhists collected donations to help rebuild the shrine.
Unfortunately, 150 years ago, many temples and Buddhist statues were destroyed and Buddhists were expelled due to the policy of purifying Shinto and eliminating the influence of foreign religions.
Today, only a few traces of Buddhism remain.
However, some stone monuments and stone Buddhas remain, and the ruins of Buddhism, which flourished along with Ise Grand Jingu, remain.
I would like all Buddhist believers around the world to come to Ise Jingu.

As mentioned above, the explanation of the history of Ise Jingu by the tourist association is not necessarily historically accurate.
