2026 Mie Prefecture Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in April)

Ise Jingu, affectionately known as "O-Ise-san," has been a special place since the Edo period, where people from all over Japan aspired to visit at least once in their lifetime. Upon visiting, you’ll find a serene and sacred atmosphere that helps you forget the hustle and bustle of modern life. ⛩️ The proper way to perform "O-Ise-san" pilgrimage Ise Jingu is not just one shrine but a collective term for 125 shrines. According to tradition, the correct order is to first visit the "Geku" (Outer Shrine), dedicated to the deity of food, and then proceed to the "Naiku" (Inner Shrine), which enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the ancestral deity of the Japanese people. Highlights of the pilgrimage · Isuzugawa Misogi Area: Located at the entrance of Naiku, this clear river is where visitors purify their hands. The cold, transparent water and the beauty of the riverside cleanse your spirit. · Shogu: Experience the unique architectural style "Yuiitsu Shinmei-zukuri" up close. Some areas prohibit photography, allowing you to fully absorb the divine atmosphere. 😋 Relive the Edo era at Okage Yokocho! After your pilgrimage, head to "Oharai-machi" and "Okage Yokocho" near the torii gate of Naiku. The recreated streets from the Edo to Meiji periods make you feel like you’ve traveled back in time, perfect for enjoying street food and exploring 🏮. 🥢 Ise Udon: The secret behind its surprising softness A must-try for lunch is Mie’s soul food, Ise Udon. · Features: Thick noodles boiled for about an hour, resulting in a fluffy, mochi-like texture. · Flavor: The "jet-black sauce" made with tamari soy sauce has a surprisingly sweet broth that delights with every bite. 🥛 A nostalgic stop at Yamamura Milk School During the stroll, I visited "Yamamura Milk School," a direct store of the long-established Yamamura Dairy founded in the Taisho era. The fruit juice I had there was exceptional! It reminded me of my childhood when milk was served in glass bottles, evoking a sense of nostalgia. Nowadays, paper cartons are more common due to recycling and safety concerns, but this spot lets you relive those memories✨. Drinking from a tilted glass bottle was a special experience! 🐶 The story of "Okage Inu," the substitute pilgrim Cute dog motifs often seen in souvenir shops are inspired by "Okage Inu," an important part of Ise’s history. During the Edo period, visiting Ise was a dream for commoners, but some couldn’t go due to illness or physical limitations. In such cases, their dogs were sent as "substitute pilgrims." These dogs carried bags labeled "Ise Pilgrimage," containing travel expenses and offerings for the gods. People along the way supported these dogs by providing food and shelter, cheering them on their journey. Upon their safe return, the dogs were warmly welcomed by their villages. Knowing this touching story makes the "Okage Inu Sable" souvenir even more endearing! 🎁 Must-have souvenirs from Ise 1. Akafuku Mochi The iconic Ise souvenir. The smooth sweetness of the red bean paste is perfect for rejuvenating tired bodies 🍵. 2. Okage Inu Sable 🐶 Inspired by the Edo-era substitute pilgrim dogs. These buttery, crispy cookies are both adorable and popular! 📍 Access Information · Geku: About a 5-minute walk from JR/Kintetsu "Ise-shi Station." · Naiku: About 10–15 minutes by bus from Geku. Summary 🐾 The dignified atmosphere of the prestigious shrine straightens your posture, while the nostalgic flavors of Okage Yokocho soothe your soul. Ise offers a unique power to nourish both your heart and stomach. Be sure to visit for a refreshing experience✨.

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip The Blue Cave (Gama no Kuchi) in Kumano City, Mie Prefecture, is a particularly fantastic spot on the Tategasaki sightseeing tour course, which is lined with strange rocks on the ria coast. ✨ The sunlight that shines into the cave reflects off the seabed, making the surface of the sea shine in cobalt blue and emerald green, just like the Japanese version of Capri. 🌈 The day I visited was a sunny day, and I was taken aback by the blue color of the cave as seen from the sightseeing boat.

#FireworksFestival I quit my job several months ago, visited many places, and roamed in every city, only to find that the meaning of life is not work. Don’t forget to live your life while you are busy with work. After watching several fireworks festivals in Japan, I found that the themes of each place are slightly different. I think the most romantic one is the long-lasting fireworks and the colorful and dense small flowers in the Kihoku Town Fireworks Festival. It seems to be called Rainbow Skylark. Many of their fireworks are in line with the shape of round arch bridges and the aesthetics of symmetry. Seeing it live really shocked me. This unexpected journey allowed me to record the happiest months of my life. The transportation is very convenient. Get off at JR Kii-Nagashima Station and walk for 15-20 minutes. Address: Nagashima, Kii-Nagashima District, Kihoku Town, Kitamuro County, Mie Prefecture Date: July 24, 2024 #trip #relax #Japan #JapanTravel #Fireworks #FireworksFestival #GlobalTravel

I'd like to introduce you to a recommended shrine⛩ that has beautiful seasonal hand-drawn water🌸. Miyatukagi Shrine in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture It's a small, quiet shrine⛩, and when I went, it was afternoon, so there was no one there. It's a hidden gem that I recommend for those who want to take their time touring the shrines🐹 The goshuin, which change with the seasons, were also very cute. This is also a shrine for the god of earth, and when I stopped by the shrine office, they gave me some soil to take home with me😊 It is said that scattering it around the four corners of your house will ward off misfortune😊 📍Yatsukagi Shrine 1412 Higashi Tamagaki-cho, Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, 513-0814 Access: Approximately 1 hour by car from Nagoya City 🕰Opening hours: 9:30-16:30 #Beautiful view spot #Mie Prefecture #Shrine tour #Goshuin #Photogenic spot #Tokai #Recommended hidden spot for travel lovers #Mie trip #Mie Prefecture tourism #japan #japantravel #0 yen trip

#TravelJapan Many people may not have heard of Mie, which is in the southeastern part of Japan. It is a prefecture by the sea but not many people go there. The closest city to Mie is Nagoya. Take the Kintetsu train, which is the main train line in this area. Famous tourist attractions in Mie include the Ise Grand Shrine, which is the largest shrine here, as well as Toba, a city with interesting tourist attractions, such as Mikimoto Pearl Island, the famous source of Mikimoto pearls and used to make Miss Universe crowns. Pearls here are much cheaper than outside. The Legend of the Marriage Rocks or Meoto Iwa is another must-visit place, as well as Ago Bay, the largest pearl farm in Japan. Most importantly, Matsusaka City is a place where you can stop by to eat delicious wagyu. You can't miss it!

📍Tekonechaya Main Branch Introducing Tekone Sushi Chaya, a restaurant near Ise Grand Shrine! Tekonechaya is located near Ise Grand Shrine, and offers a delicious set meal that combines Ise's famous "Ise udon" and "Tekonechaya" sushi. 😋 It was quite popular at lunchtime, so we had to wait about 15-20 minutes! Thick, soft, and satisfying Ise udon noodles and refreshingly flavored tekone sushi. Both were delicious, and I was very satisfied to be able to enjoy the specialties all at once. ✨ I also had clams and turban shells, which were also excellent. 😋 I had a tatami room, but I was able to relax and enjoy the food. ◎ This is definitely one of the restaurants I'd like to visit again when I visit Ise. 🧚🏻‍♀️ 📍Tekonechaya Main Branch ▪︎ 1-4-22 Uji Urata, Ise City, Mie Prefecture ▪︎ 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM #food #foodtrip #foodlist #couplestrip #girlstrip #deliciousfood #exquisitefood #trip2023 #IseGrandShrine #Ise #IseUdon

October 12, 2022 I had lunch at a Korean restaurant in Yokkaichi. 😊 ☑︎Vegetable Chijimi 1,200 yen ☑︎Sundubu Jjigae 980 yen ☑︎Small Rice 150 yen The restaurant had a very calming atmosphere. I was seated in a tatami room in the back, and there were Korean goods on display. It was a really lovely restaurant. 😍 I was thinking of just having the sundubu and rice, but... I was really curious about the chijimi. 💕 They told me they could take out any leftovers, so I ordered without hesitation. 🥰 It was so delicious, I'm so glad I did. ❤️ [Store Details] ☑︎Address: 3-4 Suwaemachi, Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture ☑︎Business Hours: Lunch: 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM Dinner: 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM (Last Order: Food 10:00 PM, Drinks 10:30 PM) ☑︎Tel: 050-5589-8790 ☑︎Closed on Mondays #SeoulOmoni #YokkaichiSeoulOmoni #YokkaichiKoreanFood #YokkaichiLunch #YokkaichiGourmet #MieGourmet #MieKoreanFood #MieLunch #KoreanFood #YokkaichiKoreanFood #KoreanHomeCooking #YokkaichiDinner #AutumnTravel

Travel usually has a lot of plans, but occasionally adding some random and improvised itineraries will give the journey more surprises. Kirin Cafe is a small blessing without any arrangements. 📍East Nagashima 24, Kibei-cho, North Mouyu County, Mie Prefecture 🚊 About 5 minutes walk from JR Kii Nagashima Station This coffee shop was found by casually finding an exit from the highway when Ise-shi was bound for Kumano-shi, rather than occasionally during a break at Eki-no-station. This kind of small shop, not located in a tourist area, feels only nearby residents will come to help, but the hut made of red brick walls, and the large "きりんCafe" sign, feels local and very leisurely, so we were attracted by this atmosphere to try. There isn’t much seating in the restaurant, but it feels clean, bright and concise, with wooden tables and chairs with dark floors that match the restaurant’s name, Grove. The breakfast menu only has two options, if you have difficulty choosing people should be very happy 😆 Both meals come with drinks, and come to the coffee shop, of course, to choose coffee. Breakfast was served to see the food was ordinary, but the salad was fresh, the tomatoes were super sweet, and the Japanese bread was delicious that can only be eaten in Japan, plus a cup of smooth coffee and homemade cookies went well together, such a simple meal brought us a feel-good morning. #Look at the Earth Instantly #Overseas Travel #Japan #Mie Prefecture #Coffee Shop #Breakfast #Leisure Life #foodie #Forest System #Food Sharing #Good Morning #japan

Ise Shima in Mie Prefecture is a nature lover's paradise, bursting with idyllic seaside landscapes that afford some of the most arresting views in the whole of Japan. In addition to its soul-soothing vistas, this special region is also steeped in history, being home to Ise Jingu, Japan's most sacred shrines.

📍Nabana No Sato, Mie, Japan It was raining heavily but didn’t stop me to come to Nabana No Sato or in English: Tunnel of Light Illumination. It was so incredible. The amount of light there, geez. it’s so colorful. every tunnel would have different color of light. by boots were soaked but it was a worth it!

The Suzuka Mountain Range spans the border of Mie and Shiga prefectures. Among them, the 7 most unique and popular mountains are collectively known as the [Suzuka Seven Mountains]. With elevations around 1,000m, they're great for beginners to try👀✨ From stunning seasonal views and hot springs to historic shrines, there's plenty to enjoy after your hike!! This time, we'll introduce the charm of these 7 mountains, which you can choose based on your travel style👀✨ 1. [Mt. Gozaisho] Accessible by Ropeway🚡 · Elevation: 1,212m · Features: The main peak of the Suzuka Seven Mountains. 　You can zip right up to the summit area via ropeway, 　making it perfect even if you aren't a fan of hiking! · Highlights: Autumn leaves, winter frost-covered trees, and strangely shaped rocks like "Jizo Rock". At the foot of the mountain lies Yunoyama Onsen, with a 1,300-year history. An open-air bath after coming down the mountain is absolutely exceptional. 2. [Mt. Nyudo] A Torii Gate in the Sky and Panoramic Views · Elevation: 906m · Features: The lowest of the seven! Great for beginners and families! · Highlights: You can enjoy a sweeping view of Ise Bay✨ 　The white torii gate standing at the summit is a super popular photo spot! Be sure to pair your hike with a visit to Tsubaki Grand Shrine (for good luck and matchmaking) at the mountain's base. 3. [Mt. Fujiwara] Encounter Alpine Plants on One of the "100 Famous Floral Mountains" · Elevation: 1,144m · Features: Exposed limestone karst terrain allows you to enjoy unique landscapes. · Highlights: Flowers bloom year-round, like the Amur adonis in spring. Its great accessibility is another perk—you can walk to the trailhead directly from Nishi-Fujiwara Station on the Sangi Railway. 4. [Mt.

#Must-See Tourist Spots I visited Ise Grand Shrine and Okage Yokocho. Selected as one of Time magazine's "50 Most Amazing Places in the World" for 2026, Ise Grand Shrine is attracting global attention. From the Outer Shrine to the Inner Shrine: Following ancient custom, the proper order is to first visit the Outer Shrine, the guardian deity of clothing, food, and shelter, and then proceed to the Inner Shrine, which enshrines the imperial ancestors. Visiting Hours (April-August): 5:00 AM - 7:00 PM. Access and Crowd Management Public Transportation: The Outer Shrine is about a 5-minute walk from Ise City Station. It takes about 10-15 minutes by bus from the Outer Shrine to the Inner Shrine.
