Ise (Mie Prefecture)

Ise Jingu

In the Edo period, people wished to visit Ise Jingu at least once in their lives, the “hometown of the heart” of the Japanese people.

The locals call it “Oise-san” and have been familiar with it for a long time. It is also popular as a day trip spot because it can be reached in about 2 hours by car from Nagoya.

Japan's premier power spot "Ise Jingu"

Ise Jingu

Ise Jingu

Ise Jingu is affectionately called "Oise-san" or "Daijingu-san", but its official name is "Jingu". The "Naiku" (inner shrine) enshrines "Amaterasu Omikami", the ancestor of the imperial family, who is likened to the sun, and is worshiped from all over the country.

On the other hand, the "Geku" (outer shrine)  enshrines Toyoke-no-Omikami, the god of food and protection of industry, who is the deity of Amaterasu Omikami. In addition, there are 14 separate shrines, 43 auxiliary shrines, 24 subordinate shrines, and 42 jurisdictional shrines, and all of these 125 shrines are called Jingu.

The Naiku has a history of about 2,000 years and the Gegu has a history of about 1,500, making it the highest shrine in Japan.

Enjoy eating while walking! “Okage Yokocho & Oharai Machi”

Okage Yokocho

Oharai Machi

Located in a section of the Naiku Monzenmachi, Okage Yokocho is a relocated and reconstructed area of representative buildings from the Edo and Meiji periods on the Iseji road. Within the approximately 4,000 tsubo of land, there are many fun spots, such as food shops and souvenir shops that are unique to Ise-Shima.

Oharai-machi, on the other hand, is a beautiful stone-paved street that stretches approximately 800 meters from Uji Bridge along the Isuzu River. The streets are lined with gabled-roofed and gabled-entry houses, a style characteristic of Oise-san. The streets are lined with many souvenir stores, restaurants, and merchant houses, making it a pleasant place to walk around after visiting the shrine.

1 minute walk from the torii of Ise Jingu (Naiku), "Ebiya Daishokudo/ Ebiya Shoten'' is located in "Oharai machi", which flourished as Torii-maemachi. As a long-established restaurant that has been in business for over 100 years, it has long been popular with locals, including visitors to Ise Jingu.

In 2016, it was completely renewed as "Ebiya Daishokudo". Ebiya Shoten, which sells souvenirs filled with the appeal of Mie Prefecture's food and crafts, was also established.
