伊勢神宮と鳥羽

伊勢神宮は、日本で最も崇拝されている神道の聖地のひとつです。約二千年前に、太陽の女神である天照大御神を祀って建立されました。実は、伊勢神宮は、皇大神宮(または内宮)と豊受大神宮(または外宮)の本殿を中心とした125の異なる神社の総称です。皇大神宮には日本の天皇の祖先として崇められている太陽の女神が祀られています。豊受大神宮には、産業、食物、衣服、住居の女神である豊見大神が祀られています。伊勢神宮では、皇室の繁栄、世界平和、豊穣を祈るため、毎年1,500を超える儀式が行われています。


鳥羽地域の豊かな自然環境と豊富な実りは、伊勢神宮で使われる特別なお供えの食べ物の供給源であり、鳥羽地域は伊勢神宮の伝統儀式において重要な役割を果たしています。


Ise Jingu Grand Shrine and Toba

Ise Jingu is one of the most highly revered Shinto sites in Japan. It was established some 2,000 years ago to venerate the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami. “Ise Jingu” actually refers to a complex of 125 distinct shrines, chief among them Kotai-jingu (also known as the Naiku, or Inner Shrine), and Toyouke-daijingu (also called the Geku, Outer Shrine). The former is dedicated to the sun goddess, who is venerated as the ancestor of the emperors of Japan. The latter is dedicated to Toyouke Omikami, goddess of industry, food, clothing, and shelter. More than 1,500 annual rituals are conducted at Ise Jingu in prayers for the prosperity of the imperial family, world peace, and abundant harvests.


The Toba region plays a key role in these ancient traditions, as the rich natural environment and bountiful harvests of the area have provided offerings of specially prepared foods to be used in Ise Shrine rituals.
