In recent years, an increasing number of people are now making the traditional shrine visit by abluting themselves at Futami before going to Ise Jingu. In modern times, people do not enter the sea, but instead ablution is performed by visiting Futamiokitama Shrine, and this is known as "hama-sangu" (a beach visit) before visiting the shrine.
Ise City, the Ise City Tourism Association, and JR Central Agency have teamed up to produce an experience perfect for those who wish to make such a visit. It is available exclusively through the EX Service members-only website, "EX Travel Destination Reservations."
