The shrine for Amaterasu Omikami (天照大神), the Japanese goddess of the sun, is located here. Every twenty years it is rebuilt at a location adjacent to the current site in a ceremony known as Shikinen Sengu.

The exposition took place from March 10 through May 10, 1930 (Showa 5) and attracted over half a million visitors. Ise was formerly known as Ujiyamada (宇治山田).
