    Located an approximately 60-minute drive from Hisai Interchange on the Ise Expressway, or alternatively, an approximately 70-minute drive from Ueno Interchange on the Meihan Expressway. From National Route 368, rows of cherry trees stand alongside the road approaching the mountain entrance of Shinpukuin Temple, an ancient temple which sits above Mitake Village. It has been sung of in Mago-uta songs for generations, and has also been chosen as one of the Japan Top 100 Sakura Viewing Sites as a place of scenic beauty. During the cherry blossom viewing season, an approximately 1. 5-kilometer road is adorned by the old 500 hill cherry trees. The Cherry Blossom Festival takes place in April, and visitors can enjoy the night-time illuminations.

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.
