In recent years, the traditional practice of performing a purification ritual at Futami before visiting Ise Grand Shrine has become popular.
In modern times, the purification ritual doesn't involve entering the sea; instead, it involves visiting Futami Okitama Shrine, which is called "Hama-sangu." Why not complete Hama-sangu and then head to Ise Grand Shrine with a refreshed mind?
This experience, perfect for those who want to properly visit the Ise Grand Shrine, has been produced through a collaboration between Ise City, the Ise City Tourism Association, and JR Tokai Tours. It is exclusively available for purchase through the EX Service member-only website, "EX Travel Reservation."

④ An Introduction to Visiting Ise Shrine
This experience plan includes a visit to Hama-sangu Shrine, an introductory book on visiting Ise Shrine, and a paper strip on which to write your wishes.
The "Introduction to Visiting Ise Shrine" book is a special guide for those who have booked a plan, designed to help them understand the relationship between Futami and the shrine, and to make their visit even more meaningful.
