Ise, a peaceful and tranquil Japanese city

Ise City/Mie Prefecture Ise City is located in the southeastern part of Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is famous for its Ise Grand Shrine. It is also a place that Japanese people must visit in their lifetime. Ise Jingu Shrine is more popular than the more well-known Meiji Jingu Shrine and Atsuta Jingu Shrine. Or Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Shrine, Nara's Todaiji Temple, etc. Too many foreign tourists. There are many people coming to Ise Jingu Shrine to worship. But they are mostly Japanese people, and foreigners are very rare My personal feeling is very similar to Izumo Taisha Shrine and Kotohira-gu Shrine. A place that is popular with tourists but not invaded by foreigners. Especially the Omotesando in front of the inner palace, the old street buildings are quite historical. Moreover, the signs are mainly in Japanese, without too many other languages. I really like this feeling. It takes about a day to go to Ise to visit the Couple Shrine on the seaside, then to the Ise Gaishu Shrine and Toyou Daijingu Shrine in front of the station, and finally to the Ise Naigu Shrine on the Isuzu River. There are many delicious foods in Ise Old Street, and Ise lobster is very famous. But actually that was along the coast of Shima Toba, I will describe it in the next article. Ise is most famous for Akafuku (rice cake and red bean soup) and Ise Udon. The former is really sweet, and the latter actually has a softer texture and a very special taste. But what impressed me most this time was the simple temple vegetarian food. Use a very simple cooking method to enjoy the original taste of the ingredients. When traveling to Japan, people tend to eat food with strong flavors. Such as yakiniku, ramen, izakaya, etc. Suddenly I had a light and refreshing vegetarian meal. Instead, you can change the heavy taste of these days. It will improve your body and taste. Therefore, I highly recommend you to try it next time. #Ise Jingu Shrine #Mie Prefecture #Ise Shima #Akafuku Main Store
