Ise Grand Shrine

Ise Grand Shrine (伊勢神宮 Ise Jingū), located in the city of Ise, Mie, Japan, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the goddess Amaterasu. Officially known simply as Jingū (神宮), Ise Jingū is in fact a shrine complex composed of a large number of Shinto shrines centered on two main shrines, Naikū (内宮) and Gekū (外宮).

The Inner Shrine, Naikū (also officially known as "Kotai Jingū"), is located in the town of Uji-tachi, south of central Ise, and is dedicated to the worship of Amaterasu. The Outer Shrine, Gekū (also officially known as "Toyouke Daijingu"), is located about six kilometers from Naikū and dedicated to Toyouke-Ōmikami, the deity of agriculture and industry. Besides Naikū and Gekū, there are an additional 123 Shinto shrines in Ise City and the surrounding areas, 91 of them connected to Naikū and 32 to Gekū.

Purportedly the home of the Sacred Mirror, the shrine is one of Shinto's holiest and most important sites. Access to both sites is strictly limited, with the common public allowed to see little more than the thatched roofs of the central structures, hidden behind four tall wooden fences. The chief priest or priestess of Ise Shrine must come from the Imperial House of Japan and is responsible for watching over the Shrine.

    (Spoken dialogue)
    (Hello?
    Hey, it's me.
    Hey, what's up?
    Uh, me and the boys were gonna go for a ride, downtown or
    Something. You wanna come?
    Yeah, I guess.
    Can we take your car?
    What?)
    Yeah, uh-huh
    C'mon baby
    VERSE ONE:
    Come and take a ride with me
    It's time to leave your worries behind
    Take a little time at the wheel
    'Cause I know it's gonna be alright
    I've got to get away
    Baby, can't you see
    Listen what I say
    Everybody, one two three, take a ride with me, c'mon
    CHORUS:
    Run away from the world behind you
    (Run away, your cares won't find you)
    Up ahead is where your cares won't find you
    You gotta go where your soul is free
    (Take a ride with me)
    Baby, one two three, take a ride with me, c'mon
    Down the road, don't you know you're flying
    (Down the road, the stars are shining)
    You'll be headed where the stars are shining
    (Take a ride with me)
    You've gotta go where your soul is free
    Baby, one two three, take a ride with me
    C'mon
    C'mon baby
    VERSE TWO:
    Checkin' out the scene tonight
    And your favorite song is on the radio

    And I know, it's time for us to go
    Got to get away
    Baby, can't you see
    Listen what I say
    Everybody, one two three, take a ride with me, c'mon
    (repeat Chorus)
    Yeah
    Yeah---

    Take a ride with me (oh---)
    Down the road, the stars are shining
