Ise Jingu Kagura Ceremonies
Kagura is the sacred Shinto musical performance offered to the gods, and at Ise Jingu private kagura ceremonies can be commissioned year-round at the Naiku's Kaguraden hall, with public performances incorporated into the shrine's major festival calendar. Witnessing priests and miko shrine maidens perform music and masked dance in the lantern-lit hall is one of the most atmospheric and spiritually resonant experiences available to visitors in Japan. Certain festivals open parts of the ceremony to general viewing.
