伊勢のリゾート「斎王の宮」へ。斎王とは、天皇に代わって伊勢神宮の天照大神に仕えるために選ばれた、未婚の皇族女性のこと。天武天皇が確立した制度で、660年間続き60名以上の斎王が存在したとのこと。今も地名や駅名で残る「斎宮」は斎王の住居。「斎王の宮」はかつてのこうした王朝文化を再現した森の中のリゾート。
To "Saiou no Miya" in Ise. Saiou is an unmarried royal woman who was chosen to serve the Amaterasu Omikami god of Ise Shrine on behalf of the Emperor. The Saiou system was established by Emperor Tenmu, and more than 60 ladies were said serving as Saiou for past 660 years. "Saigu", which still retains its place name and station name, was the old residence of Saiou. "Saiou no Miya" of this time is the resort in the woods that reproduces the past dynasty culture of Saio.
