  • Ise-Shima National Park Lies on the Shima Peninsula, Located in the Center of Mie Prefecture in Western Japan
    A scared landscape featuring the historical site of Ise Jingu Grand Shrine, as well as a picturesque coastal route and bountiful seascape 12 Ise-Shima Ise-Shima National Park lies on the Shima Peninsula, located in the center of Mie prefecture in Western Japan. Ise-Shima National Park includes the municipalities of Ise, Toba, Shima, and Minami-Ise, occupying a vast area of National Park nearly 60,000 hectares. The park is broadly divided into two areas: the inland area which is home to Ise Jingu and its surrounding forests; and the coastal area which is characterized by an archipelagic landscape with intricate ria coasts. The interaction between people and nature is very profound in the region, and the essence of this relationship can be observed in the ancient tradition of ama, female diver, fishing, among other traditional cultural practices that have developed around Ise Jingu over the millennia. The wisdom to enjoy the bounties of nature in a sustainable manner is figured prominently in Ise Jinguʼs Shikinen Sengu, a ritual held once every 20 years whereby the shrine is rebuilt in its entirety. The region has a long history of providing seafood to the Imperial Court and Ise Jingu, and the Manyoshu (Japanʼs oldest poetry compilation) refers to the region as Miketsu Kuni or the "land of divine off erings". Thus, the region boasts a rich marine environment home to diverse aquatic life, including Japanese spiny lobster, abalones, turban shells, oysters, tunas, red sea breams, and various types of seaweed. The Kuroshio sea current has blessed the region with a warm climate, which has led to the development of Ise Jinguʼs lush forest and dense evergreen forests that cling to the foothills of the mountainous regions.
