'''Ise''' (The Holy City) is a city on [[Japan]]'s main island [[Honshu]]. It is located in eastern Mie [[Prefecture]].
Ise Jingu ''"The Shrine of the shrines"'', the most sacred Shintō Shrine in Japan is located in this place. Constructed in the year 4 BC, the shrines are dismantled and rebuilt every 20 years (as part of the Shintō belief of the death and renewal of nature). ''The Shrine actually comes in two parts. The Outer Shrine (Geku) is close to Ise-shi Station and is the less impressive of the two. The Inner Shrine (Naiku) is where the sun goddess [[Amaterasu]] is enshrined, who supposedly gave birth to the Japanese Imperial line and is Shinto's most significant deity.'' [http://www.miejets.org/forum/z_page.php?pg=gbk&search=ise] The two shrines are located several kilometers apart one from each other.
