外宮, or "Geku," is one of the two main shrines of the Ise Grand Shrine in Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is dedicated to Toyouke-ōmikami, the deity of agriculture, rice, and food. Geku serves as a place for worship and offers a serene environment for visitors. The shrine features traditional Shinto architecture and is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. It is a popular destination for both pilgrims and tourists, who come to pay their respects and experience the spiritual atmosphere. Geku is often visited before the inner shrine, known as Naiku, to complete the pilgrimage.
