Ise is home to Japan’s most famous lover’s date hotspot as well as Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine), which is said to be “the soul of Japan” and the country’s most important shrine. Before travelling back to Tokyo, we paid a visit to pray for our safety on the road, to see the most romantic rocks in Japan – the Meotoiwa Wedded Rocks – the husband and wife rocks that are bound together for all eternity, and tried some of Mie Prefecture’s most famous food; Ise udon and tekone zushi/ sushi (marinated bonito or tuna donbori rice bowl) in the traditional Japanese town’s iconic streets of Oharaimachi and Okage Yokocho. If you visit Japan, a trip to Ise is a must!

  1. Like comment share subscribe watch till the end and help support this lovely couples journey on YouTube and in life❤️❤️💕💕👍🏽

  2. 伊勢神宮は最初に外宮(げくう)にお参りし、次に内宮(ないくう)にお参りします。
    名物の赤福(あかふく)は食べましたか。

  3. 美味しそう🤤なうどん🍜と漬丼🍚
    あ❗ひじきではなく、切り昆布だと思います🙋
    最初二人とも眠そうだったのに元気になりましたね😊💓

  4. 今晩は!伊勢に来て頂いてたんですね!
    お会いしたかったです!二見の夫婦岩にも行ってもらったんですね、
    おかげ横丁に行かれたんですね、
    伊勢うどん、うどんは柔らかくてもちもちだったと思います。
    てこね寿司も、美味しいですね!(笑)🤭
    ひじきもミネラル豊富で、体に良いです!
    あおさはお味噌汁に入れたり、天ぷらでも良いですよ!(笑)🤭

  5. In your opinion which is the best noodle type for Japanese style food – udon soba or ramen?

  6. 懐かしい夫婦岩、カエルも懐かしい。伊勢神宮は外宮と内宮両方お参りするのが常識です。伊勢うどんのつゆはたまり醤油ですね。この柔らかいうどんは大好きです。てこね寿司とうどん最高のコンビネーション、いつか行きたい。

  7. 日本古来の神道系の神様たちは自然が少ない所ではスピリチュアルな力が弱いという弱点があり、それを補う役割をしているのがインド由来の仏教系の神様たちで大日如来は太陽を意味していることからアマテラスと同じということで受け入れられた面があり、特に街なかを走り回るクルマ旅の無事を祈るなら大日如来の化身、不動明王さまも良いと思います。

  8. ココへ行く度に身体の中がマイナスイオンで満たされた気持ちになります。建国記念日早朝の神宮はまた特別です。伊勢うどんは古くから遠方から遥々参拝に来た客をどの時間でも待たせず、疲れた胃を優しくもてなす為のものだったそうですね、現代において県外の人は特に最初の見た目で一様にビックリですよね😋

  9. I love all the couple things in japan even as a single Pringle, also bears face when he taste yummy food is just pure shock. I would say he wouldn’t be good at poker, but he is good at everything 😫 yes to be pushed back to Tokyo ❤️

  10. Lovely Ise visit! Never seen thick udon with only sauce…looks delicious!

  11. I haven’t been there since I went there on my primary school trip many years ago lol We stayed in a Japanese ryokan inn near Meotoiwa rocks . I love akafuku mochi even if we could purchase it even in Osaka so on.
    cheers

  12. You guys should look to doing a collaboration with WithKate who have also recently returned to Uk from Korea
