Ise Jingu shrine readies for once-in-20-years renewal

Full story: https://immersive.kyodonews.net/ise-j... Change is underway at Ise Jingu, Japan's most revered Shinto shrine, as local residents in June completed the first ceremonial haul of lumber for the shrine's traditional renewal, the Shikinen Sengu, carried out every 20 years. Over a period of eight years, sanctuaries at Jingu’s two main shrines along with auxiliary shrines and other structures, will be dismantled and rebuilt on adjacent sites, with the deities due to be moved into their new homes in 2033. #isejingu #japaneseculture #japantravel
