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 title — Shinto (神都) — that roughly means "The Holy City" and literally means "Capital of the Kami"). Most of the city is within the geographic limits of Ise-Shima National Park.
As of September 2012, the city had an estimated population of 129,125 and a population density of 619 persons per km². The total area was 208.53 km².
