If you are planning a visit to Ise Jingu, this guide takes you through the whole pilgrimage from the first torii onward. It lays out walking routes for both the Geku (Outer Shrine) and the Naiku (Inner Shrine), explains how to approach and pray at each hall, and introduces the deities enshrined there along with the distinctive shrine architecture — the kind of background that turns a quick stop into a proper visit.

After the shrine comes the fun part. The book devotes generous space to the old approach streets, Oharai-machi and Okage Yokocho, plus the Geku sando, with local specialties such as Ise udon and Akafuku sweets and the souvenirs worth carrying home. It also covers the Shima and Toba coast, Matsusaka, Seki and VISON, so you can extend the trip beyond the shrine grounds. Practical sections on transport and regional trivia — local books, films, festivals and events — help with planning.

Cocomiru is JTB's compact, cheerfully designed series, recognizable by its colorful checked cover, and this 128-page volume is packed with listings and photographs. A detachable map is included, so you can leave the book at the hotel and still find your way.

The text is in Japanese, but the maps, photographs and route diagrams make the layout easy to follow even without reading the language. Published by JTB Publishing. Brand new copy.
