Travel Guide Ise

The Ise region, located on the Shima Peninsula, is a favorite destination for Japanese who travel there to visit the most revered Shinto shrine in the archipelago - Ise-jingū. In addition to its unique sacredness, the beauty and tranquility of the place are simply stunning. But this area also hides many other beautiful destinations that make exploring Mie Prefecture very enjoyable. With the waterfront never far away, the living environment in this area is relaxing and laid back. It would be a shame not to put down your luggage, even if only for one night during a long stay in Kansai. Its proximity to Wakayama Prefecture and the city of Nagoya makes it an easy destination. You can also head to Toba, a pleasant little town nestled east of Ise-jingū, which offers many attractions in a lovely natural setting facing the sea.
