Just one thing to remember before visiting

Ise Jingu mainly consists of two parts called ‘Naiku (内宮)’ and ‘Geku (外宮)’, and you should visit to Geku at first ahead of Naiku as a formal procedure.
But if you don’t have enough time in your stay, that’s OK to visit to only Naiku because it’s not strict much on welcomed visitors.
