Located near the Outer Shrine Sorei-sha has a hall for the Shinto funeral. The origin was a memorial service for the war dead in a civil war called the Seinan Senso. Basho's haiku monument and some other stone monument of Ise-born scholars such as *Ajiro Hironori, *Deguchi Nobuyoshi and others stand in the grounds. Next to the grounds a memorial monument of a politician* Hamada Kunimatsu is situated.
Basho's monument is called 'Nan-no-kizuka（mound）'
Nan-no-ki no hana towa shirazu nioi kana
A mysterious fragrance drifts to me from the sacred area of Shrine. I don't know the name of the flower though I really feel the blessing of God.
