　Ise Shrine which is located in Mie prefecture (more than 500km south-west from Tokyo) is the most prominent of shrines in Japan and an extraordinarily sacred place.

Many years ago, the people who lived around Tokyo(Edo) wanted to visit Ise Jingu but it was so difficult because it was far from Tokyo(Edo).

So the new shrine was built in Tokyo (Edo) and this enabled people in Tokyo to worship the deities enshrined in the Grand Shrine of Ise from afar. This new shrine is "Tokyo Daijingu ".

Still now a lot of people visit "Tokyo Daijingu".
