Discovering Ise: A Hidden Gem Near Nagoya✨

Have you ever been to Ise area in Japan?✨🌊

Ise is one of my favorite places, just about an hour and a half’s drive from my hometown, Nagoya.✨

It’s well known among locals, but still not very familiar to people from overseas.

When I was young, I often went there with my family, and it’s a place full of memories for me.☺️

The fish market is especially famous for Ise lobster and abalone, which are both large and surprisingly affordable.🌟

There are also many oyster huts where you can still see traditional divers harvesting oysters.

These days, you can even find oysters that are safe to eat raw, which makes it even more exciting.💓👍

And of course, Ise is home to the world-famous Mikimoto Pearls, also well known in Singapore.☺️

At Pearl Island, you can buy pearls at good prices, make your own bracelet, and even tour the factory.🏭

 It’s a perfect place to find a special gift for someone you love.💓

On top of that, there’s Ise Jingu, one of the three most important shrines in Japan.⛩️

People from all over the country visit and pray there.

The shrine itself is huge and serene, and the street food nearby is just amazing.

You can also try Matsusaka beef, which is said to be as delicious as Kobe beef.😛

For anyone who loves to travel, Ise is truly a must-visit destination.

I especially recommend going in autumn, it’s nearby Nagoya, the weather is comfortable, and the scenery is beautiful.

Winter can get extremely cold and windy, so autumn is the best season to enjoy it fully.

Enjoy!☺️
