Mie Prefecture occupies the eastern tip of the Kii Peninsula along Japan's Pacific coast, sheltering Japan's most sacred Shinto shrine complex, a UNESCO-listed pilgrimage network, pristine pearl-farming bays, and a coastline famous for Ise lobster and Matsusaka wagyu beef.
Mie Prefecture's nightlife is quiet compared to Osaka or Nagoya. Tsu city has the most concentrated bar and izakaya scene. Ise town has a handful of sake bars popular with locals. The Ise-Shima resort areas have hotel lounges and a few harbour bars, but the region goes quiet after 22:00.

Nightlife tips
Stay safe and have fun.
Most venues warm up after midnight — earlier arrivals get easier entry and shorter queues.
Carry ID, even if you look older — bouncers check at most venues.
Plan your ride home before you go out — last transport runs earlier than the clubs close.
