Ise

Ise is a coastal city in the central Mie Prefecture on Japan's main island of Honshu. It's known for Ise Jingu, a massive Shinto shrine encompassing 2 major shrines, the inner Naikū and outer Gekū. Between them are the Oharai Machi and Okage Yokocho alleys, lined with buildings reminiscent of Japan's Edo and Meiji periods, now housing shops and restaurants. There are more than 100 smaller shrines in the city as well.
