Ise City (2 April 2007)


Ise City (Japanese: 伊勢市) or simply Ise, is a city in eastern Mie Prefecture, on the island of Honshu in Japan. The city is best known for the Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred Shinto shrine in Japan, from which the city derived its name.

Ise City was known as Ujiyamada between 1889 and 1955. On 1 January of 1889, the villages of Uji and Yamada were combined to form Ujiyamada. As there are other cities by that name, for example Uji City in Kyoto Prefecture and Yamada - now Kama - in Fukuoka Prefecture, a decision was taken to rename it Ise on 1 January, 1955.
