Heute verließ ich nach dem Frühstück schon kurz nach 09:00 mein Hotel und fuhr mit der U-Bahn zum Bahnhof Osaka Namba. Dort dachte ich eigentlich, dass ich gültige Tickets nach Ise im Internet gekauft hatte, aber das Personal meinte, dass ich nochmals eine weitere Fahrkarte kaufen soll. Später erklärten englische Durchsagen das gleiche, so dass das wohl stimmt. Die Fahrt dauerte knapp zwei Stunden und am Ziel angekommen nahm ich den Bus nach Ise-jingu (Äußerer Schrein). Von dort war es aber noch ein ganzes Stück zu laufen. Es ist einer der heiligsten Shinto-Schreine in Japan und leider durfte ich von ihm selber kein Foto machen. Zum Bahnhof zurück nahm ich aus Zeitgründen ein Taxi, fuhr danach wieder knapp zwei Stunden nach Osaka Namba und erreichte mein Hotel danach problemlos mit der U-Bahn. Abends aß ich dann ... read more

That literally took up the whole day before we headed to another temple - the Osu Kannon temple in Nagoya before calling it a day. First we had breakfast in one of the restaurants in Nagoya station. I was pretty shocked to discover that smoking was allowed in the restaurant which was air-conditioned. Ash trays were provided on every table (they were very clean - must have been scrubbed with hot water) and i found it peculiar to ... read more

I took some time for myself over obon and headed to Mie prefecture all by my lonesome to Ise-Shima National Park to see the Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred Shinto Temple in Japan. However the Grand Shrine isn’t just one shrine, it is divided into two complexes the Outer Shrine and the Inner Shrine. The main Inner shrine is dedicated to Amaterasu, the sun goddess, and is the temple everyone really thinks of when they think of Ise. The main outer shrine is dedicated to Toyouke Oomikami, goddess of lives’ basic needs (i.e. food, clothing, shelter). It’s a bit confusing how they refer to all as if it were one shrine when there are really two separate complexes. Fun Fact: Somewhere in one of the many buildings in the two complexes the Yata no Kagami ... read more
