    Travel / Tourism
    Mie Pref. Owaseshi Mukai Black beach
    This clamming beach in Owase City is one of the best in Mie Prefecture. You can reach it by taking the bus bound for Kii Matsumoto from JR Owase Station for 11 minutes, getting off at the Mukai bus stop, and walking another five minutes. Benzai-jima Island is visible in the bay, as are wave eroded cavities and sea caves along the shore. The season for gathering Manilla clams lasts from late March to early June. Nearby you can visit the Kumano Kodo Center to learn about the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail. Yumekodo is close too, where you can bathe in deep ocean water. It's a great place for a day of fun for parents and kids alike.
  • Shichiri Mihama Beach
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumano City, Mie Prefecture-Nanjo County Kihocho
    "This is the longest sandy beach in Japan, extending 22 kilometers from Kumano City to Kiho City. It was chosen as one of the Japan's 100 Best Beaches and also one of the ""top 100 places of nature we want to protect in the 21st century"". The pebbles polished by the turbulent waves of the Kumano Sea are called Mihama Pebbles and are used as accessories and the like. The beach is also well-known as a place where Loggerhead sea turtles come up onto land. The beautiful landscape lends itself to photography, with the scenery in the daytime having an incredible contrast between the blue of the sea and the white clouds, and the orange of the sunrise."

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.
