This was my first trip to Mie! There were so many great places to visit! In Vison, I was able to experience living in harmony with nature, buying fresh vegetables at a market, and enjoying lunch made with local ingredients. At Ise Jingu Shrine, the solemn atmosphere was heartwarming, and at nearby Okage Yokocho, we enjoyed Mie gourmet foods such as Ise udon noodles and Akafuku rice cakes! I was also impressed by the spectacular views of Ise Bay from Yokoyama Observatory and Oza-Shirahama Beach!
Mie was a fascinating place to enjoy nature, history, and gourmet food! I will definitely visit again!
