Introducing Ise-shima
The Ise-Shima region, on Mie-ken’s Shima-hantō, is most famous for Ise-jingū, Japan’s most sacred Shintō shrine. The shrine is located in Ise-shi, the main city of the region. Ise-Shima also encompasses the tourist mecca of Toba and some pleasant coastal scenery around Kashikojima and Goza. Ise-Shima is easily reached from Nagoya, Kyoto or Osaka and makes a good two-day trip from any of these cities.
