Week or so ago I visited Ise Shrine with a friend of mine. In Japanese it's known as "Ise Jingu" (伊勢神宮), and the part we visited was Naiku (内宮). Nearby the shrine is a collection of shops and restaurants which is great for lunch and buying souvenirs (or omiyage - お土産). I settled for some dodgy (delicious) fish on a stick and macha ice cream. Yummers.
