    The laws of Edo regulating the expenditures of the commoners notwithstanding, the Matsusaka Stripe was the pride and joy of the most fashionably dressed and admired. At Matsusaka Cotton Hand Weaving Center one can experience the depth of weaving while imagining the Edo period when all Matsusaka Cotton was hand-woven.

    Mie Pref. Takiguntakichou Nyu 4409
    Located approximately a five-minute drive from the Ise Expressway Seiwataki Interchange, this is the antenna shop of Kokekokko Republic, which has a large chicken signboard as its marker. Reasonably priced because it is a direct sales store, you can purchase and eat safe and fresh cage-free fertilized eggs and chicken meat. In addition to their famous tamago-kake gohan (raw egg over rice bowl) with all-you-can-eat eggs, their set with locally-raised chicken also gets good reviews. They also sell handmade cream puffs, pudding and castella sponge cake using plenty of cage-free fertilized eggs.

    "This temple, affectionately known as ""Ise Sanjo"" (the top of Mt. Ise), was used for ascetic practices before the Meiji era. It is now open to the public, and after going through the entry process you can climb the harsh mountain path to visit Ibuta-ji Temple yourself. Inside the grounds, you'll find the Yakushido temple, holding a statue of Yakushinyorai as the temple's principal"

    伊勢山の行場を守るお寺。 行場はとても危険で、すぐ横が断崖絶壁の岩を登って降りる場所が何ヶ所もあります。 初めの「油こぼし」以外は迂回路があるので高所恐怖症の人でもなんとか回れます。住職オススメの「小尻返し」では1.5m程度の岩を登ると素晴らしい景色を見ることができます。ここも片側が断崖絶壁なのでヘタレな私はちょっと登ってすぐに降りてしまったのですが。 この表行場は2時間程度でまわれました。 裏行...

You can fully appreciate the many famous pieces that line the museum and appear in textbooks.

  • Miyanotani Gorge
    Travel / Tourism
    Mie Pref. Matsusakashi Itakachouhachisu
    Miyanodani Gorge is located in Muro-Akame-Aoyama Quasi-National Park in the city of Matsuzaka, Mie Prefecture. It is located on the upper reaches of the Hasu River, which flows through a nearly untouched natural area. Because the volume of water is small in proportion to the drop, Kazaore Falls is bent in the middle, and there is also a 60-meter Takadaki waterfall. Rock formations, such as Inutobi-iwa Rock and Rokkaku Byobu Rock, have given the gorge a reputation for its scenery. In addition, a four-kilometer path has been laid out in an old-growth forest, and the area is especially attractive in the fall, when the leaves change color.

  • Rokujuppiro Falls

    Mie Pref. Takigunodaichou Osugi
    Rokujuppiro Falls is located in the park of the same name in Taki County, Mie Prefecture. This waterfall, which falls into Minogatani Valley along the shore of the lake formed by the Miyakawa Dam, was discovered during the Muromachi Period (1334-1615). When the drop of the falls was measured by dropping a rope in 1541, it was discovered to be 60 hiro (a hiro was a measurement of length equivalent to two outstretched hands), so it was named Rokujuppiro. The natural environment surrounding the falls is beautiful in every season, and scenic trails have been laid out so that visitors can easily walk around in the lovely scenery. On clear days, one can sometimes see rainbows in the falls.
