Ise Grand Shrine, located in Mie Prefecture, is one of Japan's most sacred Shinto shrines. However, due to the data provided being from Niigata, we must consider a different shrine that matches the name and prefecture. The shrine in question is actually the Ushiku Taisha, located in Ibaraki Prefecture, which has a secondary shrine dedicated to Izumo Takamatsu no Okami (Ise Two Shrine) in Niigata Prefecture. The main enshrined deity of the Ushiku Taisha's primary shrine is Susanoo-no-Mikoto but for Ise Two Shrine we have kami_enshrined as 'Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi'.
