What to expect

Today's itinerary focuses on experiencing Japan's traditional shrine culture and marine charm, offering a dual experience for the eyes and the soul. ⛩️

  • In the morning, visit Ise Grand Shrine's Naiku (Inner Shrine), dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami. Walk across Uji Bridge to enter the sacred grounds and feel the serene atmosphere. Afterward, stroll through Okage Yokocho, a charming old street lined with small shops. We recommend trying the Akasaka mochi from the century-old shop "Akafuku" and traditional Ise udon noodles 🍡🍜. You can also experience the three-dimensional images of Japanese mythology at the Okage-za or visit the Tokuriki Tomikichiro Print Museum to purchase unique souvenirs.

Choose one of the following for the afternoon: ① Mikimoto Pearl Island 🦪: Visit the Pearl Museum and the Mikimoto Kokichi Memorial Hall, watch the Ama divers’ pearl diving performance, and learn about the history of pearl cultivation. The island also features the “Pearl Palace” wishing well and a heart-shaped “Stone of Love,” perfect for taking photos. ② Toba Aquarium 🐠: Asia’s only aquarium where you can see dugongs. Freely roam the diverse aquatic animal exhibits and enjoy the sea lion show or marine mammal feeding interactions to experience the charm of the ocean.

  • Finally, head to Futami Okitama Shrine to worship Sarutahiko Okami and pray for marital harmony and traffic safety. Admire the famous Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks), where the male and female rocks are connected by a large shimenawa rope, symbolizing a perfect union. The various frog statues within the shrine symbolize safe return, making it a fun spot for photos and blessings.

* Today's journey ends with romantic prayers and delicious seafood, satisfying both the soul and the taste buds. 🌊💫
