Ise Grand Shrine
Within Japan’s Shinto shrine complex, there are two main shrines in Ise Grand Shrine. Every year, they host fests where people can visit certain parts. Yet, there are lots of areas where no one may enter. People assume this is where the Sacred Mirror resides. Legend goes the Sacred Mirror was forged by a Shinto deity, but most think the mirror got destroyed during a fire back in the 9th century.
