I visited a commercial facility called 'VISON' in Mie Prefecture! 📍672-1 Vison, Taki-cho, Taki-gun, Mie Prefecture The area is very spacious with many unique shops, and I had a great time! There are many spots to enjoy, including hotels, restaurants, museums, and food stalls! For lunch, I had soba at a place called Ise Okina, a hamburger at a food stall called baraque, and ice cream at a cafe called D&DEPARTMENT MIE by VISON! The facility is large and there are many restaurants, so I recommend researching what to eat and where to go in advance!

#Couple Rock #夫婦岩 #伊勢志摩 This is the Couple Rock in Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is famous as a symbol of love for couples❤️ It is famous as a place that creates relationships and is also famous for the sunrise. It would be a great place for a date or for families to visit.

I bought a cheap ticket and traveled freely. Incheon Airport → Chubu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya area) → Go by rental car → Ise-Shima, Mie Prefecture “TAOYA Ise-Shima Hotel (dinner and breakfast, food and drink set)#食べ放題 #飲み放題 I didn't know, but since it's summer, you can use the beach that goes straight from the hotel basement to the beach. Free I should have brought a swimsuit and tube~what a shame;; I was able to drink beer and drinks for free right after the hot spring. You can check in from 3pm or have a simple tea and beer at the lounge from 2pm, and you can sit in the lounge (since all rooms have an ocean view) and enjoy the ocean view👍 Dinner and breakfast were buffets, and I could drink local beer in the evening, and there was wine, draft beer, and Japanese sake, but I got tipsy after drinking the local beer >.< It's a shame I couldn't drink much. Day 1 ended with a drive to Bubu Rock and Jinju Road#パールロード and a hotel & hot spring.

Yakuyoke-machi is a shopping street about 800 meters long located in front of the entrance to the Inner Shrine of Ise Jingu. The most bustling part of Yakuyoke-machi is the central area of Okage Yokocho. Formerly known as Ise Road, it was laid out for the convenience of worshippers visiting Ise Jingu. Since ancient times, Yakuyoke-machi has prospered due to Ise Jingu, and since the Edo period, countless devotees have come to visit every year. At that time, people known as 'Onshi' would exorcise evil spirits from travelers or perform Kagura dances here. The name Yakuyoke-machi comes from this tradition. After many years of relocation and reconstruction, Yakuyoke-machi was completed in 1993, recreating the Ise Road of the Edo period. The 800-meter-long road is flanked by traditional wooden buildings such as Kirizuma, Irimoya, and Tsuma-iri, and the antique streetscape takes you back to the Edo period. The most lively Okage Yokocho recreates the atmosphere of the Ise Festival from the late Edo period, with regular Taiko drum performances and Kamishibai, traditional Japanese storytelling. There's also a nostalgic toy shop and Japan's smallest brewery, offering a condensed version of life scenes from the Edo period. Along the road, shops are lined up offering food, fun, and shopping all in one, making it one of Japan's most famous snack streets. Besides Akafuku rice cakes, Akafuku ice, and Kaeru Manju, there are also local delicacies such as Ise lobster, creating an amusement park-like atmosphere that both adults and children can enjoy.

I must say that Japan have got really wonderful beaches, I was hoping I could go for a swim as the water was so clear and beautiful but when I put my feet in, it was so cold I just walk bare footed along the beach. Do visit the beaches of Japan if you get an opportunity. 🥰🥰🥰 "Traveling brings out the adventures person in you" "The food will make your tummy happy 🥰🥰" #mustvisit #food #chilling #friends #happytummy #japan #grouptravel

NAGASHIMA SPA LAND 🎢 At first, I actually thought it is a Spa place. I was absolutely wrong! It's an amusement park! I think it has the 3rd highest Rollercoaster in Japan, if I am not mistaken. It also includes a Water Park called Nagashima Ocean Jumbo. Therefore, I suggest that you visit it during Summer so that you may enjoy the Water Park without freezing! #wintergetaway

Recommended for people who love meat - Matsusaka Niu Shouxi. Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture, and Matsusaka, which is raised in the suburbs, is one of Japan's three largest cattle, known as meat art, and sukiyaki is one of the best ways to taste its delicious. Shouxi is a beef hot pot, grilled on the iron plate, add soy sauce and sugar-flavored forest and other spices, and finally add vegetables and water to taste. The thickness is just right, the fat and thin beef is tender and juicy, and the raw egg liquid is stained. Not only the taste is smoother but also the entrance is not so hot. At the same time, we also tasted the Matsusaka beef shabu-shabu. That is another delicious. Finally, we finally put the meat on the iron plate, and added udon noodles after eating, perfect!

ha, listening to the name is very attractive. Located in Ueno Park where Ueno Castle is located
