Mr. and Mrs. Akishino are worshiping at Ise Jingu as an event accompanying Mr. Akishino's "Rikkoshi no Rei", which was postponed due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
Mr. and Mrs. Akishino left the inner shrine of Ise Jingu, where they had been staying from the 20th, by car after 8:30 am on the 21st, and arrived at the outer shrine at 9 am.
Mr. Akishino in the morning and Mr. Noriko in worship clothes were moved to the front of the main shrine where the main hall in the center of the outer shrine is located.
Then, under the leadership of the priests, he headed for the main hall.
After that, Mr. and Mrs. Akishino were worshiped by offering a tamagushi in front of the gate in front of the main hall.
The couple will continue to worship at the inner shrine of Ise Jingu, which is dedicated to the ancestor of the imperial family, Amaterasu Omikami. It is reported that the "Rikkoshi no Rei" is over.
Mr. Akishino attended the "Rikkoshi no Rei" in November, but his visit to Ise Jingu and other places was postponed due to the spread of the infection.
It is the first time in two years and three months since January that the two of Akishino Miya and his wife have visited the region together, and the Imperial Household Agency has decided to travel by car for most of the journey, and many people gather at stations and roadsides. It is said that it will take thorough infection control measures, such as devising ways to prevent it.
