Toyouke Daijingū, also known as the Outer Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine, is dedicated to Toyouke-Ōmikami, the deity of agriculture, rice harvest, and industry. Located in Ise, Mie Prefecture, Japan, it serves as a vital complement to the Inner Shrine, which is dedicated to Amaterasu-Ōmikami, the sun goddess. The Outer Shrine was established approximately 1,500 years ago to provide food offerings to Amaterasu and to serve as a guardian of sustenance and daily life. The serene and sacred grounds of Toyouke Daijingū are surrounded by lush forests, and its traditional Shinto architecture reflects the deep cultural heritage of Japan.
