Next stop Ise-jingu
I had read a lot about this sacred place and all I have in my
mind is that Ise is like the Vatican City for the Catholics. The morning we
left Kyoto was also going to be the first time I jumped on a car and hit the
road in Japan. Couple of things on the road were similar but some others were definitely
not.
The first thing that caught my attention was the GPS.
I know, there’s nothing special about a talking GPS but perhaps what I found
interesting was the voice and the tiny anime character who was giving us
directions. My friend told me it was an old version and that hence she was not
going to use it, because some parts of the way to Ise had recently changed.
