Don’t Travel To These Forbidden Places – You Might As Well Leave These Off Your Bucket List

13. Ise Grand Shrine – Japan

Dating back as far as the third century, this is the most sacred site in Japan. The Grand Shrine itself is actually a complex of over 120 smaller shrines.

You’re allowed into the smaller, external shrines, but the main shrines can only be accessed by the Japanese imperial family, with no exceptions.
