    Mie Shima-shi Hamajimacho Hamajima 681
    This statue of the god Ebisu is located on the grounds of Ebisu Shrine in Hamajima, Hamajima-cho, Shima City. Depicted seated on a rock with a great smile, among local fishermen it is said that cutting off the statue's nose and carrying it as an amulet will bring one luck in arriving early at fishing grounds. A Shinto ritual is held in front of the statue during New Year's each year in which participants laugh for the first time in the new year.

    宿の観光案内サービスで連れていって貰いました。ふくよかでおおらかな恵比寿様の鼻は欠けていましたが、お祭りの時は修復されるそうです。参拝者はご利益があると石で欠いて持ち帰るそうです。恵比寿像の前からの風景が綺麗でした。

    Mie Pref. Shimashi Shimachougoza
    Tsumekiri Fudouson is located at the foot of Mt. Konpira en route to the Shima Bypass, which faces Goza Shirahama Beach. This place was visited by Kobo-Daishi, who loved both nature and people, and it is said that on his final day of prayer, he carved the deity Acala into the natural rock with his own nails. The site contains a pond and well associated with Kobo-Daishi, and there are many “rejuvenating spots” such as Myojosui, which is said to heal ailments of the eye, and the “nadeishi” stone that is said to promote health.

  • Ishibotoke (Shiobotoke)
    Travel / Tourism
    Mie Pref. Shimashi Shimachougoza
    You’ll find this jizo (guardian deity of children) statue beyond the beach west of Goza Harbor. Because it alternately appears and disappears with the tides, it has come to be called the “tide Buddha.” It is said to heal illness in women from the waist downward, and it is believed to absorb people’s illness by always submerging in water, which has led many female tourists and divers to visit it. A ceremony for the statue is held every March 15th at Choonji Temple, and fishing of woman diver is allowed starting the following day.

    Mie Pref. Shimashi Shimachoukatada 64
    This Shinto shrine in Shima-cho, Shima City, Mie Prefecture presents a beautiful contrast with its vermilion torii gate and the blue sea. It's said to provide the boon of maritime safety and was originally established according to the villagers' wishes nearly 400 years ago, dedicated to Inari, a fox god. An early ritual there was called Konkon-san (relating to a fox's barking), and people still leave many fox figurines as offerings today. The painted ceiling of the main shrine was done by the artist Nomura Tossai and his disciple. Its many vivid pictures and the roof tile figures of fairy tale protagonists Urashima Taro and Otohime of the Dragon Palace have been designated Town Cultural Assets.

    Mie Shima-shi Agocho Ugata 874-4

    冬の志摩はそれほど観光場所が無いと思い参拝に行ってみました。石神さんと共に観光ランキングに出てることもあり参拝者がちらほらおみえでした。他に目的ある方は余裕時間があればといった感じですが、石神さんと共にここを訪れる方は多いようです。観光に迷った方は行ってみては。

    大王埼にある神社。大王埼灯台を訪問した後、海岸ぞいに歩いていくとあります。鳥居から石段を登っていきます。鯨石か境内にあります。古い歴史を感じる神社です。

    それなりにいい雰囲気のお寺です。 しかしここが志摩国分寺と言われると、場所や規模から不思議な気がします。いつどのように比定されたのでしょうか。

    Mie Shima-shi Agocho Ugata 1550

    国道167号から狭い道を少し入った場所にありますが、車で行く方は迷う確率が高そうな場所にあります。 地名は「鵜方（うがた）」ですが神社名は「宇賀多（うがた）」です。 建立時期は不明ですが受験生やスポーツ選手、博打打ち？に人気がある様で、理由は「うがた」を「受かった」とか「打ち勝った」と解釈して願をかける・・・ってダジャレみたいな感覚で神様に頼るのはアリなのでしょうか。。。と少々疑問を感じましたが...

Spread across the eastern side of the Kii Peninsula, Mie prefecture boasts hundreds of kilometers of pretty coastline comprising the oyster-rich Toba city and Shima National Park all the way down to Kumano, a city that marks the beginning of part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, which runs into neighboring Wakayama prefecture. However, Mie is best known for the Ise Jingu Shinto shrine inland, one of the oldest and largest shrines in the country.
