    Mie Pref. Shimashi Hamajimachouhamajima
    “Bindama” are glass floats which were once commonly used for fishing. This one kilometer long walkway along the seashore is lined with lovely glass floats. After sunset, the floats are lit up, and the path is illuminated by the gentle lights of the floats. Bindama Road is located near the Hamajima ryokan inn district, and at night many visitors come to walk the path carrying paper lanterns borrowed from the ryokan they are staying at.

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.
