Castle tourism in Mie Prefecture
Mie Prefecture is popular for its power spots, including the world heritage site Ise Jingu and the pilgrimage route Kumano Kodo. It is a historic area where many people have visited since ancient times for the purpose of visiting Ise. The retro scenery of Oharai-cho, which is close to the inner shrine of Ise Grand Shrine, is a must-see. Iga is also known as the home of the Iga-ryu ninja, and in addition to Iga Ueno Castle and the Ninja Museum, the townscape from the Edo period remains throughout the prefecture. Delicious food such as spiny lobster produced by the rich nature of Ise-Shima and Matsuzaka beef from the merchant town of Matsuzaka are also highlights.
