'Ise Bay' (伊勢湾 ''Ise-wan'') is a bay located at the mouth of the Kiso river, between Mie and Aichi prefectures in Japan. The bay extends roughly 60 km along the coastline, and roughly 30 km out to sea; the depth ranges from roughly 30 to 100 metres.
The bay's coast is highly industrialized and includes the city of Nagoya. Other major cities include Yokkaichi, Kuwana, Tsu, and Ise.
The bay is well-known for producing pearls, which are most famously harvested in Toba.
