On the Gekū premises, this stunning new museum illustrates Shikinen-Sengū, the ceremonial reconstruction of the buildings of the Ise Shrines and the transfer of the deities. There are pristine displays of techniques and tools and a one-twentieth scale model of Gekū's buildings. The highlight is a full-size replica of Goshōden (main shrine); the real one is off limits to all but the emperor and highest priests. Pick up the English-language leaflet or audio guide.
