#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. The space created by the sound of the waves and the flickering light makes you feel like you've wandered into another world. What's more, the feeling of being in a hidden place that can only be reached by sightseeing boat is irresistible! Among the "absolutely free trips", this is a spot where you can have a special experience✨ 🚃【Access】 ・Address: Yuki-cho, Kumano City, Mie Prefecture ・Pleasure boat: "Tategasaki sightseeing tour" course departing and arriving at Matsuzaki Port (time required: about 1 hour 10 minutes) ・Car: About 15 minutes from "Kumano Shinka IC" on the Kumano Owase Road to Matsuzaki Port ・Parking: There is a free parking lot around Matsuzaki Port🅿️ ・Inquiries: Kumano City Tourism Corporation (TEL: 0597-89-2229) [1] 🧭【Trip tips】 ・The best time to go is in the morning on a sunny day!

#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.

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!

#Japan Attractions #Overseas Travel #Japan Travel #Japan Good Places Located in Mie Prefecture, Yunoyama Onsen has a history of 1,300 years. Many great writers used to come here, and now it is also a local tourist destination✨, and its Onsen Street also has many ♨️ hotels, shops and restaurants🍴! The Yunoyama hot spring area is very characteristic, with Japanese-style huts on both sides, and the backdrop is the Gozasho Mountain full of red leaves🍁. It feels peaceful and beautiful! It also has a tear bridge that allows you to see the most beautiful 💕 red leaf hilltops and stream views. You can also soak in the hot springs at the inn at night, which is a great pleasure! Yunoyama Onsen 📍Wizard 8822, Haino Town, Mie County, Mie Prefecture

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

#SummerThemePark I went to Nagashima Spa Land on Sunday. Honestly, I was expecting it to be pretty crowded, but I was surprised by how empty it was! I was able to ride the popular attractions without having to wait in line, and it was a very comfortable experience. The heat was quite unbearable, but there were plenty of places to rest in the shade and hydrate, so with a bit of ingenuity, I was able to enjoy it without any stress. As expected, there are plenty of thrilling rides here, including the Steel Dragon and the White Whale, all of which were very impressive. It really got me excited. The park is spacious and open, and it's great to be able to walk around comfortably. Thanks to the sparse crowds, I was able to try out a variety of rides that I would normally give up on, and I was very satisfied. You'll need to take precautions against the heat, but if you can get there on an off-peak day, I highly recommend it. I'd love to go again! 333 Urayasu, Nagashima-cho, Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture 511-1192 Tickets starting at 1800 yen

My first post! ✨ Thank you for your support. A whirlwind trip from Tokyo to Ise-Toba, Mie Prefecture, with no overnight stays. The timetable is a rough guide. 🙇 Board the night bus at 11 PM the day before. Arrive at Ise-shi Station at 9 AM. Sightseeing at Ise Jingu Geku (Outer Shrine) until 9:20 AM. Arrive at Ise Jingu Naiku (Inner Shrine) until 10 AM. Travel by bus to Ise Jingu Naiku (Inner Shrine) until 10:30 AM. Travel by 12:30 PM. Arrive at Okage Yokocho (Ocean Street) until 1:00 PM. Travel by bus to Ujiyamada Station to Toba. ... Ise Grand Shrine. Japan's most prestigious shrine. Enshrining Toyouke-no-Omikami and Amaterasu-Omikami. I visited to pray for good health. In Okage Yokocho, I had tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) from Yakimono Taijiro, Ise udon from Fukusuke, and croquettes from Butasute. It was delicious, and it really brought home to me how popular Okage Yokocho is as a tourist destination. Arrived at Toba Aquarium at 1:45 PM Departed at Toba Aquarium at 4:40 PM Arrived at Mijumaru Park at 5:00 PM ... Toba Aquarium is an aquarium with no set route, so it was easy to manage my time. The sea otters are very popular, and after lining up, you can view them for one minute. (You can still view them while waiting in line.)

Ise-Toba is one of the most memorable travel destinations I've been taken to in my early elementary school years, so I was happy to be able to revisit it. We went as a group of two girls in our 20s, so we were able to go with this plan, but if you're traveling with children, I think a simpler plan might be better. It's a wonderful place, so I highly recommend you visit! ✨ #MyTravelPlan #JapanTravelGuide #MiePrefecture #IseJinguShrine #PowerSpot #Toba #TobaAquarium #QuickTrip #GirlsTrip
