The Grand Shrine of Ise is a holy or sacred place where they worship Amaterasu, a goddess of the sun and the universe of the Shinto religion. The temple is built without using any nails, but simply joining wood instead. The most interesting part is that the temple is rebuilt every 20 years, honoring the Shinto concept of death and rebirth. It is also a way to continue the long ongoing tradition of building the temple by only interlocking the joints. Despite the beauty and the holiness of the temple, only the priests and the representatives of the imperial family can enter the territory. So, the only chance to catch a glimpse of this incredibly holy place is through wooden fences, and you can’t take any photos either.
