This exclusive tour is highly recommended for Japanese history lovers and visitors of Ise Jingu Shrine. With a professional private guide you will be able to discover a less known part of Ise Jingu Shrine's history and experience the life of a 10th century Japanese aristocrat, long before the samurai caste appeared. The highlight of the tour - putting on an expensive multi-layered junihitoe kimono and enjoying Heian era entertainment - takes place in a faithfully reproduced cultural treasure building which used to be part of the Saiku Palace.
