By David McElhinney Verified| Lonely Planet Verified Many shrines are said to be Japan’s oldest ormost significant, but adherents to the Shinto faith often declare Ise-jingū,the “Soul of Japan,” to have the strongest claim. Enshrining the sun deity Amaterasu Omikami and containing one of the fabled pieces of imperial regalia, Yatano Kagami (the Sacred Mirror), the shrine is almost as old as Japan itselfand brings in as many as seven million visitors each year. But the shrine isn’t the only reason to visitthe Ise-Shima region.

This 400m-long (1312ft) arcade street, several paces wide, has more than one hundred shops and stalls selling everything from kitchenware and powdered matcha to pufferfish sashimi, and an ocean floor’s worth of seaweed. Though some argue a market existed here as far back as the Heian period (794–1185), it was officially recognized by the ruling shogunate in the early 1600s, primarily as a hub for fish wholesalers.
