Grand Shrine Of Ise, Japan

Anybody who has ever been to Japan (or ever wanted to go to Japan) probably already knows that the country is filled to the brim with hundreds, if not thousands, of different shrines. Now, while all of them are unique and worth seeing, this one seems to be one of the more important ones, which is a shame given that it is strictly off-limits for the general public to visit.

Unless you're a priest or a member of the Japanese Imperial family, you won't be able to get inside this shrine, so you'll just have to make do with the view from behind the fence.
