Mie Pref. Iseshi Futamichoue

This famous spot in Ise City, Mie Prefecture is a 15-minute walk from JR Futaminoura Station and featured in one of Utagawa Hiroshige's Ukiyo-e prints. Futami Okitama Shrine is famous for the Meoto Iwa Rocks, said to bestow the boons of prosperity and safety at home and the good fortune of Sarutahiko no Okami, the god enshrined there. The two larger and smaller boulders act as the torii gate usually found at shrine entrances, and the image of them as a pair has led to them being called the Married Couple Rocks. People often pray here for marital happiness and finding the right partner, and from May to July you can see the sunrise, a sign of the season. Futamiura Beach Resort and Sea Paradise are both nearby.

In turn, the shrine is seen by locals as a guardian shrine of conception, safe childbirth, and protection from evil and misfortune.

目立たないところにありますが、安産祈願などで特に女性参拝者が多い神社です。宇治橋を渡って右手に進むと内宮の正宮方面ですが、宇治橋を渡って左手にあります。距離はさほど遠くありませんので、せっかくの機会なので、参拝されてみてはいかがでしょうか。この、子安神社のとなりには大山祇神社も鎮座しています。どちらもあまり大きなお社ではありません。

As the newest of the associated shrines it is also fourth in rank.

外宮の別宮という格付けのお宮。この神様は、蒙古襲来の時に神風を吹かせたことを評価されて、別宮に出世したそうです。雨風は農作物に大きな影響を与えるので、大事な神様です。外宮でのお参りの順番は、正宮→多賀宮→土宮→風宮とのことです。とても他の二つの別宮と併せて、静かな雰囲気の中でお参りできます。

Mie Pref. Shimashi Agochougata 4032

This unagi eel restaurant with a lantern marked with the characters for charcoal grilled is located in the Ugata, Ago-cho area of Shima City, Mie Prefecture. Every morning, they slowly grill a fresh Japanese eel cut open that day over high-grade charcoal to seal in the savoriness, and the surface becomes crisp while the inside is soft and fluffy. The chemistry between it and the slightly sweet secret sauce is amazing. The chef's recommendation is the unagi-don joju (high class bowl of rice topped with grilled eel). This dish consists of four pieces of plump and savory eel that are large enough together to completely cover the rice it is placed on. With a spacious Japanese style tatami room, the restaurant is recommended for eating with families.
