Tsukiyomi-no-mikoto, a younger brother of Amaterasu, is the deity of Tsukiyomi-no-miya. Another Tsukiyomi-no-miya (月讀宮) is dedicated to Tsukiyomi-no-mikoto and Amaterasu in the same place, but this shrine features the two of them separately. Tsukiyomi-no-miya Shrine is located at the end of Kamiji-dori, which stretches westward from the north gate of the Outer Shrine. Surrounded by many trees, including a centuries year old camphor tree, the Shinto sanctuary has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere that one would not expect in an urban area.
The Jingu Chokokan was founded in 1909 as the first private museum in Japan, and is a " comprehensive museum of history and culture" of the Ise Jingu Shrine. The Jingu Chokokan exhibits mainly materials related to festivals, history, and culture in order to provide visitors with a more detailed understanding of the Jingu Shrine. The most impressive exhibits are the restoration of the shrine pavilions and the sacred treasures that are renewed every 20 years when the shrine is moved to a new location during a Shinto ritual. The museum also houses 11 nationally important cultural properties and approximately 13,000 items of history, archaeology, and arts and crafts.
The deity is Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the younger brother of Amaterasu. As the name "Tsukuyomi (月読)" implies, he is the deity who controls the phases of the moon and presides over the days and nights. The four separate shrines, from right to left: Tsukiyomi-no-aramitama-no-miya, Tsukiyomi Shrine, Izanagi-no-miya shrine, and Izanami-no-miya Shrine, are located side by side and are usually visited in order from Tsukiyomi-no-aramitama-no-miya to IIzanami-no-miya.
