    This castle is also called the Hakuho (white phoenix) castle as the white shining walls of this three-story castle look almost like a phoenix resting its wings. Distinguished castle designer Todo Takatora, who took up the position of feudal lord of Tsu Domain, Ise Province originally built a five-story castle keep but it was destroyed during a great storm in 1612. The current castle keep was restored in 1935. The beautiful stone walls with a height of 30 meters as well as the inner moat remain as they were at the time when Takatora designed them, and the castle was designated as a national historic site in 1967, while the castle keep was designated as an Iga City Tangible Cultural Property in 1985.

    名張市は県境の町。奈良県に接し、京都府や滋賀県にも近い。昔から交流があったはずだがエリアを越えた文化的な交流は今は寂しい。 壬申の乱など一連の殺し合う一族の争いは一帯の山野に及んだはずであるが、夏見の寺の存在も塼(せん)仏という作法もほとんど知らなかった。この時代は混乱は仏教だけではなかったはず。 夏見廃寺を知ったのは2021年7月6日の報道。奈良県橿原考古学研究所の「毛原廃寺の発掘」。 大規模...

    Mie Iga-shi Uenoaioicho 2828
    This residence was granted to Irimajiri Kanpei by the local domain when he changed residences during the Kansei era (1789-1800). The only extant samurai residence in the prefecture, the estate still retains its distinctive long nagayamon gate. The grounds encompass a main building and the gate, as well as a dozo storehouse, front building, and teahouse with a round window, and the general public may enter and view this real former samurai residence. Tree peonies have been planted in a space used as a field behind the residence, and even today the estate is one of the most well-known destinations for viewing tree peony blossoms in Iga.

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.
