Ise Shrines

Over summer vacation I visited Ise shrines with A, but unfortunately I didn't have my camera that time around. Sunday I was able to go back with my Mom.The shrines are Shinto, so the style is plain.

The grounds of the shrines are beautiful with large trees and a mountain backdrop.The area surrounding the Inner shrine is filled by small, old souvenir shops on narrow crowded streets.

It rained the entire day except when we were walking back to the car.
