From Bustling Streets to the Serenity of the Pilgrimage Trail
Begin your journey with a prayer for safe travels at Ise Jingu, then pass through the lively streets of Oharai-machi and step onto the sacred trail. As the town fades behind you, tranquil rural landscapes unfold, leading you toward the ancient mountain paths. Crossing Meki-toge Pass and Misesaka-toge Pass, you enter a deep, silent forest, where the revered Takihara-no-Miya stands in quiet solemnity, waiting to be discovered.
