Ise, Mie
Ise (伊勢市, Ise-shi?), formerly called Ujiyamada (宇治山田), is a city located in eastern Mie Prefecture, on the island of Honshū, Japan.
Ise is home to Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred Shintō Shrine in Japan, and is thus a very popular destination for tourists. The city has a long-standing nickname—Shinto (神都)—that roughly means "The Holy City" and literally means "Capital of the Kami"). It is part of Ise-Shima National Park.

Famous quotes containing the word mie:
“Mie love ys dedde,
Gon to hys death-bedde,
Al under the wyllowe tree.
Waterre wytches, crownede wythe reytes,
Bere mee to yer leathalle tyde.
I die; I comme; mie true love waytes.
Thos the damselle spake, and dyed.”
—Thomas Chatterton (1752–1770)
