We had a great tour today. The trip to the Isse Grand shrine, Kotaijingu, was excellent I learnt a lot about the Shinto traditions, gods and mythology. The beauty of the Nature forest park was never outplayed by the shrines themselves. The shrine by the sea was also beautiful with the force of the sea and wind. Our guude and driver were very good. Would reccommend.
