Ise Jingu: A Sacred Sanctuary of Timeless Spirituality Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine) is not just a shrine—it’s a living embodiment of Japan’s spiritual heart, where nature, tradition, and divinity intertwine in perfect harmony. As the most sacred Shinto site in Japan, dedicated to Amaterasu-ōmikami (the Sun Goddess), it offers an unparalleled experience of serenity, reverence, and connection to the eternal. Here’s why it deserves a flawless 5-star review for its profound spiritual essence: 1. A Divine Link to Japan’s Soul Ise Jingu is said to house the Yata no Kagami (Sacred Mirror), one of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan, symbolizing Amaterasu’s presence. Pilgrims have visited for over 2,000 years, believing the shrine to be a direct bridge between humanity and the kami (gods). The atmosphere hums with an indescribable purity—every step along the forested paths feels like walking through a sacred dream. 2. The Ritual of Rebirth: Shikinen Sengū Every 20 years, the shrine’s inner and outer sanctuaries (Naikū and Gekū) are completely rebuilt in an ancient ritual called Shikinen Sengū. This practice, unchanged since 690 AD, reflects the Shinto belief in renewal, impermanence (mono no aware), and the cyclical nature of life. Witnessing this tradition—or even knowing it exists—adds a deep, metaphysical dimension to the visit, reminding us that divinity is eternal, even as its forms change. 3. Nature as Sacred Architecture Unlike grand temples adorned with gold, Ise Jingu’s beauty lies in its simplicity and harmony with nature. The shrine’s cypress wood structures, thatched roofs, and unpainted timber follow Yuitsu-Shinmei-zukuri, a style reserved only for Ise. The surrounding ancient cedar forests are considered part of the shrine itself, with the Isuzu River acting as a purifying boundary. The act of crossing the Uji Bridge symbolizes leaving the mundane world behind. 4. A Pilgrimage of Purification Visiting Ise Jingu is a spiritual cleanse. Before approaching the inner shrine, pilgrims perform misogi (ritual purification) at the river, washing hands and mouth to purify body and mind. The act of bowing, clapping, and offering a prayer (norito) at the main hall is a moment of profound stillness—where time seems to pause, and the kami feel palpably near. 5. The Energy of Ujiyamada & Oharai-machi The surrounding town, Ujiyamada, and the Oharai-machi district leading to the shrine, are extensions of its sacred energy. Traditional shops serve akafuku mochi (red bean rice cakes), said to be blessed by the gods, while local craftsmen create omamori (charms) infused with Ise’s spiritual power. Even the air here feels different—lighter, clearer, as if touched by the divine. Final Verdict Ise Jingu is more than a destination; it’s a soul experience. Whether you’re drawn by Shinto mysticism, the hypnotic chants of priests, or the whispering forest that seems to breathe with the kami, this shrine transcends time. For those seeking a place where heaven and earth meet, Ise Jingu is nothing short of perfection.

A vast shrine with 2 main shrines (Naiku/Inner Shrine & Geku/ Outer Shrine) & several more shrines. The Inner Shrine is formally known as Kotai Jingu & is dedicated to the sun goddess, Amaterasu Omikami. This spiritual place is definitely worth the visit. Loved how it is surrounded by nature. Definitely a must visit when in Ise.

A beautiful place. You won't be able to see the very heart of these holy grounds and the photos around the shrines are forbidden (which is understandable). However, you may be able to see a hen in the woods and insanely clear pond with majestic fish swimming around, which is also alright.

Considered the most sacred of all shinto shrine, it consists or 2 parts, the Naiku(inner shrine) and the Geku (outer shrine). Quick fact, the shrine is rebuild every 20 years as part of their eternal revival. Do note that there's no photo in the inner scantum of the shrine

For those who are not Japanese: please be prepared to dress respectfully, act respectfully, and talk respectfully within the shrine! I saw one white girl tourist wearing revealing tube top within the shrine today, it’s probably taken as disrespectful act by locals. Please clean your both hands and your mouth at the entrance, people do vow before and after entering the torii gate, (supposed to) not walk the center part of the street after passing the gate (supposingly the center is where gods walk). No taking pictures if it says so. This shrine is not a tourist spot like some other shrines. Please be respectful! Thank you. I know it is for all the other shrines and temples too, but this shrine is really something else for Japanese people. Goddess Amaterasu is known to be the most fierce Goddess. The way to pray: two 90 degree vows, two hand claps, and one more vow at the end to close the 🙏!

Kotai Jingu (Ise Jingu Naikū, Inner Sanctuary) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visiting Ise Jingu Naikū is one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave. As a frequent traveler who has seen sacred and historic sites across continents, I found the atmosphere here to be unlike anywhere else — deeply spiritual, serene, and humbling. The walk through the towering cedar-lined paths sets the tone before you even reach the Inner Sanctuary. Photography is restricted near the most sacred areas, which only adds to the sense of reverence and respect. Even without photos, the memory of standing in such a spiritually powerful place is unforgettable. What impressed me most was how seamlessly the grounds balance accessibility for visitors while preserving the sanctity of the shrine. Staff and volunteers are welcoming, and there’s a quiet efficiency in the way the site is maintained. For travelers, I recommend allowing plenty of time here — not just to see the shrine itself, but also to explore the surrounding town of Ise and its traditional streets. This is a destination worth making part of a broader journey through Japan’s cultural heartland. Spiritual Atmosphere: 5/5 Accessibility & Grounds: 5/5 Overall Experience: 5/5

Important Shinto temple. It's a pleasure to walk in the beautiful forest. Very recommended visit when in Japan.

After visiting Ise Grand Shrine, we found a bar called Ise Kadoya Beer in the nearby old street. The weather was extremely hot, so the seven of us immediately decided to order a drink to cool down. The IPA inside was decent, but what really stood out was a special beer made with sake yeast. It was incredibly refreshing with a slight sourness, very drinkable and enjoyable. This unexpected beer experience added a cool and delightful touch to our trip.

Amazing location and the meal was a great selection of delicious meals popular in the area. Had local oysters prepared steamed and fried with rice, salad and additional sides which were amazing 😍. I highly recommend it if you ever make it to this popular area in Ise-Shima.

The craft beer was awesome. The fried oysters were not bad but not that fresh. When you order beer at the store front, you can grab a seat at the seats near the entrance not the tables further inside. They are available for dinner.

I have eat a great quality and tasty Unagi with rice accompanied with an amazing soup broth and Japanese pickles. All of this in a Japanese style table in tatami. Great restaurant!

Came here on a pilgrimage as I really love their beer. Got a six beer tasting set and sat on the peaceful outdoor terrace at the back, overlooking the river. Heaven. Didn't try the food.

Randomly visit during trip to Ise. This restaurants offer one of the best Unagi that I have ever tasted. Unfortunately, I drove a car during this trip. Thus, I had no chance to taste the beer. :( My wife said beer is really good. Staff is really nice and welcome foreigner guests. Will come back in the future for sure.

Great beer and the best oysters we tasted in Japan

Very calming and cool atmosphere surrounded the entire area, if you go to visit Ise Grand Shrine I definitely recommend taking the bus out to Amano Iwato. Just make sure the bus will still be running when you’re ready to leave or else you’ll get stranded like I did!!

It was an easy walk to a source of the water, which is selected as one of the best quality water 100 in Japan and Amno-Iwato. if you like to go up further for the small shrine of Sarutahiko or/and a wind hole, you can have even more exercise.

Absolutely beautiful, completely serene place where you can forget the outside world for an hour or two. Grab a bamboo walking stick near the forest entrance/parking area; it's super helpful when you navigate through the mountain and forests.

Moss’terious this sanctuary is. Up to the cave you‘ll go!

So serene and peaceful. One of Japan’s top 100 spring waters. So pure and delicious

Spiritually pure spot🌈🙏💖

Ama-no-Iwato (Erihara Water Hole) in Shima City, Mie Prefecture is one of the places where the legend of Amaterasu Omikami's "hiding in the cave of heaven" is passed down, appearing in Japanese mythology. The spring water flows down as a waterfall called Misogi-daki, and it is possible for ascetics to perform waterfall ascetic practices. There is also a changing room nearby for those who wish to undergo waterfall ascetic practices.

Shrine is very barebones, but is still manned. Part of the Ichinomiya pilgrimage. Construction is similar to Ise Jingu Geku and the Shuin Stamp is plain and simple like the Ise ones. There’s free parking and a bathroom just around the corner. On a weekday, I had to ring a bell to get my stamp, but he wrote it in my book. Quick stop. From here it’s 30 minutes to Ise Jingu Naiku.

It is wonderful power spot🙏

good

(Translated by Google) Shrines with difficult kanji characters or difficult pronunciations for Izawano-miya are often prestigious or sacred, and this is no exception as it is a branch shrine of Kotai-jingu Shrine and is a prestigious shrine. After passing through the wooden Shinmei-style torii gate, you walk along the approach covered in trees. It is quiet, and the only sound of nature is the sacred and solemn flow of air, which feels comfortable. The magnificent inner-carved chigi sashes and the solemn Shinmei-style main hall made of six katsuo-gi sashes appear in the open space along with the grounds for the shrine transfer ceremony. It is not known why a branch shrine was established at Isobe, over the mountain from the Inner Shrine, but perhaps the unique atmosphere of the approach and Princess Yamato suggest that Izawano-miya was also originally Ise❓️ (Original) 伊雜宮（いざわのみや）と読む難しい漢字や読み方が難しい神社は格式が高かったり神聖だったりするのですが、例に違わず皇大神宮の別宮で格式の高い神社です。 木製の神明系鳥居を抜けると木々に覆われた参道を歩みます。静かで自然の音のみが神聖で荘かな空気の流れが心地よく感じられました。 立派な内削ぎの千木、六本の鰹木の神明造の荘かな本殿が遷宮の地とともに開かれた空間に表れます。 内宮から山を越えた磯部に別宮を設けた理由は分からないですが参道の独特な雰囲気や倭姫が、伊雜宮（いざわのみや）も元伊勢なのでしょうか❓️

(Translated by Google) This is the most prestigious shrine among the Outer Shrines of Ise Grand Shrines. It is a shrine with the highest history and atmosphere, and it also performs the Shikinen Sengu (yearly rebuilding ceremony). While the Inner Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine is also great, this one is also recommended. (Original) 伊勢神宮外宮の中でも格式の高い神社。きちんと式年遷宮も行う由緒も雰囲気も最高位の神社でもあります。伊勢神宮の内宮も良いですが、こちらもお薦めです✨

(Translated by Google) 2025.10.13 I arrived here on a pilgrimage to Ise Shrine and Ichinomiya Shrine. It was a quiet place and I felt very calm. I could receive one of the seven goshuin stamps of Ise Jingu Shrine. (Original) 2025.10.13 お伊勢参りと一之宮巡礼でここにたどり着きました。静かな場所でとても心落ち着きました。伊勢神宮社の7つの御朱印のうちの一つがいただけます。

(Translated by Google) It enshrines the spirit of Amaterasu Omikami and is also known as "Izougu." It is a branch shrine located outside the main shrine grounds, second only to the main shrine. The rice-planting ceremony, held every year on June 24th, has been designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan and is one of Japan's three major rice-planting festivals. It is enshrined solemnly in the silence of Ichinomiya in Shima Province. (Original) 天照大御神の御魂をお祀りし、「いぞうぐう」とも呼ばれます。正宮に次ぐお宮の域外の別宮です。 毎年6月24日に行われる御田植式は、国の重要無形民俗文化財に指定され、日本三大御田植祭の一つです。 志摩国一宮で静けさの中に厳かに鎮座されていました。

I’m very appreciated the staff’s help to take the taxi to Kashikoshima. Thanks a lot.

Transportation was not so convenient because direct public bus schedule was not frequent to this destination. Visitors would walk upwards from the information centre to the observation deck which was an exercise during the day. The staff could assist to call taxi and was very friendly. There was a video show with different language versions. Washroom was clean. Food and drink were available in the cafe on the observation deck up the hill.

The last place for you to have toilet, before you get up to the observatory. The staff is nice. I got some postcards from here.

It was bloody hot to be there in Aug, but I just loved a great view from there. Amazing view and probably one of my best one.

Long walk

Excellent view... They have seaweed ice-cream to buy as well...

Thank you very much for calling a taxi for us.Very nice and helpful people are here.2020.01.25

Parked close to Observatory Deck. It was super quiet at 4pm. It’s a short walk up to the observation deck (wheelchair ok ramp). The cafe behind the deck has open windows and serves light drinks. The view is south west. It’s spectacular but not good for a sunset.

The view is nice from the observation platform. You can see the inland sea and islands clearly. There is a small cafe there as well. The parking space is limited, so you might have to park at the bottom and hike for about 7-8 minutes. The bike parking is also at the base only.

For foreign visitors readers! Nice place with awesome hojicha ice cream, definitely recommend! If you are a walking lover, even if you walk from train station, the distance is just fine for daily exercise but always subject to the weather! Today is cloudy and temperatures are 22-24 degrees Celsius.

The observation deck here is exceptional, and it's a must-visit when sightseeing in the area. From the deck, you can see the bay and scattered islands, with the scenery appearing even more magnificent under the sunlight. There's also a café at the deck, where you can enjoy the view while having soft-serve ice cream, making for a very comfortable experience. There are two ways to get up the mountain: first, you can park at the lot at the foot of the mountain and take a 15-minute trail, which is well-paved with steps; the second option is to drive up the mountain, but due to limited parking spaces, they control traffic with a one-in-one-out system. We waited about 10 minutes.

Amazing observation deck where you can see the Ise shima islands. It’s free and has a cafe on the deck. There are hiking trails as well. The parking is really close to the deck.

Great view. The deck is only 5 minutes hike from the free car park. There is a path with plenty of shades.

Beautiful scenery. You can actually drive all the up to the viewpoint and there’s parking! Thank you for the biking couples for their tips! 😉

The lighthouse and shops closes at an early 4pm though it's also a nice site for sunset views. With an expansive field for kids to tire themselves out or for a picnic, this is a pretty nice hangout. Don't forget to check out the quirky door, doraemon time machine and lighthouse dioramas!

the view is nice. the carpark is free.

A nice view place. Hard to get there due to narrow road and no other attractions nearby. You can spend 30 to 45 minutes viewing the ocean through the light house which is was built in 1873.

Very good place for Astrophotographers.

Really nice place😊

One word: "beautiful".... The Lighthouse and the museum were closed the day I visited. They have odd working hourse (8:50 am to 3:50 pm).

Sea breeze is amazing! Entrance fee is ¥ 200. From 9 a.m to 4 p.m

it is not worth coming here. Just a normal lighthouse with no park. Best avoid the carpark that Google map leads you. there is a man who want to collect 300 yen for carpark. we drove about 200 metres in the opposite direction where there is dock and plenty of space to park without charge. there is a toilet across the road.

Beautiful view from the park. It also contains a small yet informative museum. Enjoying sunset was priceless. Reservation: No needed Parking: no, but there are plenty of paying parking lot nearby Toilet: yes

Thrilling! When I planned my trip, this place was only meant to be a brief stop. Never expected such a magnificent view up on the light house. Highly recommended. Don’t miss the shops that are on the roadside shops.

Nice scenic spot. Small museum for interested people.

It was a beautiful day to visit the Daoi Lighthouse. The walk was fulfilling, and the view was just glorious!

Good panoramic view on the ocean. Feels like an old tourism spot because of the age of shop owners in the area

Not much, bet enough to suffice. A beautiful view of the surroundings and a ticket comes with access to the small informative museum about the history of the tower as well as about the town. Tip: If you happen to reside within the town and can provide some small evidence of that, then you actually have free access to the tower as well as the museum!

(Translated by Google) We visited right in the middle of the Obon holiday period. They open at 11am, so we got there about 20 minutes early. When we arrived, there were already four groups waiting. However, as soon as they opened, we were shown to a seat. The eel was grilled to perfection and was fragrant, and the skin was crispy, which I think is Kansai style. The rice was also generously covered in sauce, and it felt like it was mixed in, so we enjoyed it until the very last bite. The atmosphere of the room, as the name of the restaurant suggests, was that of an old inn. There were several tables lined up in a tatami-covered hall on the second floor. (Original) お盆休みど真ん中にご訪問。 11時オープンとの事で20分ほど前に行き　　到着しましたが既に4組ほどの待ち。ですがオープンと同時にすぐにお席にご案内頂きました。 鰻はしっかりと焼かれていて香ばしく、 皮目はパリッと感があり関西風かと思います。 ご飯にもタレがしっかりかかっており、どちらかというと混ぜ込んであるような感じ最後まで美味しく頂きました。 お部屋の雰囲気は、店名の通り古い旅館のような雰囲気。2階の畳になっている広間にいくつか机が並んでいました。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on a casual basis while visiting Izamiya Shrine, and it was even more delicious than I expected. It has as much fat as a winter eel, and while the skin is crispy, the fluffy, fatty flavor is irresistible. The liver of the liver sucker is also huge. And it was delicious! I was very satisfied. (Original) 伊雑宮の御参りのついでに軽い気持ちで寄ってみたのですが想像以上に美味すぎます。 冬の鰻並みにしっかり脂も乗って皮目のパリっと加減中はふわふわ脂のコクたまりませんわ。 肝吸いの肝もデカい。そして美味い!大満足でした。

(Translated by Google) It was an hour later that we were able to sit down and eat right when the restaurant opened. Was it bad luck that the queues were not right? The couple sitting next to us, who sat down at almost the same time, finished their meal and left. The eel that came out was burnt black and had a bitter taste, which wasn't the case when I came here before. It seems that it's a popular restaurant and there are a lot of takeaway orders, so perhaps that's inevitable? It was a bit disappointing. (Original) 開店同時に席について食事が出来たのは1時間後でした、順周り？が悪かったのが運が悪かったのか？ ほぼ同時に席に着いた隣の席の２人組は食べ終わって帰ってしまいました。出てきた鰻は真っ黒焦げて苦味がでてました、以前来たときはそのようなことはなかっのになぁ。人気店でお持ち帰りもたくさん注文があったようです、仕方のないことなのか？ちょっと残念でした。

(Translated by Google) This is the best eel restaurant in every way! There is still no other eel restaurant that can surpass this one, and the reason is that the muscular eels and the wild taste of the sauce create a deliciousness unlike any other. The building, the atmosphere, the female staff, although I have never met them, the skill of the grilling craftsmen always makes me happy, thank you very much 😁 It is a restaurant that I hope will be passed down and preserved forever. Thank you for the delicious meal I received at the end of my visit to the shrine this year. Thank you as always for the five slices (Original) 何もかもが最高の鰻屋さん！ココを超える鰻屋さんは今でも無いです　理由は、筋肉質な鰻と、タレがワイルド感で何処とも類似しない美味さです。建屋　雰囲気　スタッフの女性達　お目にかかった事は、無いですが焼いてる職人さんの技術　何時も幸せになれます　有難う御座います😁未来永劫継承して残して欲しいお店です。今年も参拝のシメに頂けご馳走様でした。 いつも五ッ切れ感謝感謝

(Translated by Google) I ate eel for the first time in a while. I usually have three pieces of Yoshinoya, and I'm excited. . . Here, there is no “ju” but “don”, Suimono, pickled vegetables. A single man in his 50s, Kiba is five pieces of rice bowl!! ️ This is the first type of unakaba I've ever eaten. Is it baked after steaming? The body is quite thick, Hofhoff? Crispy? Crunchy? The texture is firm Although the taste is not strong inside, The surface is crispy and grilled, and the sauce tastes good. Not too spicy, not too sweet, perfect❕ Sauce for rice too It comes with whole grains like chirashi sushi. Hmmmm... I think it would be no exaggeration to say that it is the most delicious eel✨ Sometimes, even if I force myself, I'll bite and eat the real thing. It's going to be a rich day (´Д｀) 070301 Visited again, although it was a long way down from Osaka. It’s overwhelmingly delicious! ️The rice coated with sauce comes first. delicious. And eel. My body is tight and hofhoff The surrounding area was grilled and aromatic. The eel sauce that sums them all up is the best❕ I told the staff at the restaurant, ``This eel bowl is much more delicious than you (employees) realize.'' When I said that, she said with a wry smile, ``I've heard you say that before.'' Delicious, too delicious!! ️ If you ask, they will also give you sansho (Japanese pepper). It's better to ask. (Original) 久々にチャンとしたウナギを食べました。 普段は吉野家の三枚盛り、しかも奮発して。。。 ここ、“重”はなく“丼”、 吸い物､お漬けもんと。 五十路独身男、キバって五枚丼‼️ 初めて食べる種類のうなかば。 蒸した後に焼いてんのかな？ 身は相当に肉厚、 ホフホフ？サクサク？シャキシャキ？ 食感がしっかりしてて 中まで味がしゅんでるわけではないのだが、 表面しっかりパリッと焼き目でタレ味もしっかり。辛すぎず甘過ぎず絶妙❕ ご飯へのタレも ちらし寿司みたく全粒に付いていて う～～～ん、 一番旨いウナギと言っても過言ではないかなあ✨ たまには無理してもキバって本物を喰うと なんか豊かな一日になりますねえ(´Д｀) 070301 再訪､大阪から下道遠かったが。 圧倒的に旨いっ‼️タレまぶしのご飯がまず 旨い。そして鰻。身が締まっててホフホフ で周りはバリっと芳ばしく焼かれてて それらを総括する鰻ダレがサイのコー❕ お店の人に「(従業員の)皆さんが自覚してる以上にめちゃめちゃ旨い鰻丼なんですよ❗」 て云ったら「前もそう言われたことがあります」って苦笑いされてました。 旨い、旨すぎる‼️ 頼んだら山椒もチャンとありますので 頼んだ方がイイですよ。

(Translated by Google) We had lunch on the way back from visiting Izushi-gu Shrine. There is no parking lot. I think it's fine to just park at the shrine. The building is charming, and the staff are polite. There were many customers, even on a weekday. The menu only had three types of eel, three to five slices. The liver soup was delicious. The eel was plentiful and reasonably priced. It looked delicious! But I wonder how it actually tasted. The meat varied, but it was disappointingly thick and tough. My elderly mother said it was like rubber and she couldn't eat it. (This is my personal opinion.) The regular portion of rice was a huge amount, but it was all mixed in with sauce, and there was no thick, white part. The pickles were also cheap. I can't deny that it was disappointing. (Original) 伊雑宮参拝の帰りに昼食をとりました。 駐車場はありません。伊雑宮に止めたままで良いと思います。 建物は風情があり、お店の方の対応も丁寧。 平日にも関わらず、多くのお客さん。 メニューは三切れから五切れの三種のみ。 肝吸いは美味しい。 鰻はボリュームあってリーズナブル。 見た目も美味しそう！ ただ実際のお味はどうかなと。 身によって差はありましたが、ぶ厚いだけでかたくて残念。高齢の母はゴムの様で食べられないと。（個人の意見です） ご飯は普通盛りでもすごい量でしたが、すべてタレで混ぜ込んであり、濃くて白い部分は無し。漬物も安っぽい。 期待外れは否めませんでした。

(Translated by Google) I love eel from Mie Prefecture and go there occasionally to eat, but someone told me about this restaurant so I had lunch there for the first time. I ordered five pieces. It was impressive how well the sauce mixed with the rice, which could be described as distinctive. The sauce had a rich, deep flavour that felt like a secret recipe. The eel was nicely browned around the outside but plump inside, and really delicious. The inside of the restaurant was a lovely room where you could relax and unwind, just like a traditional inn. I'd definitely like to go again. (Original) 三重県の鰻が大好きで時々食べに行くのですが、 こちらのお店を教えて頂き初めてランチを頂きました。 5枚を注文。 特徴的とも言えるほどお米にタレがよく絡んでいて印象的。秘伝のタレという感じのする濃厚で奥深いタレの味でした。 鰻はこんがり周りは焼き目がついていますが中はふっくらしていて 本当に美味しかった。 店内も旅館そのものといったお座敷でゆっくり寛げる素敵なお部屋でした。 またぜひ行きたいです。

I've eaten here on two separate visits.The bonito chazuke was excellent.

The lunch obanzai was beautifully laid out and fresh and thoughtful. The seafood selection plentiful and very pretty

(Translated by Google) I searched for seafood, but there were no shops in Shima City. I finally found this shop, which opens at 5:30 p.m.... I was staying at a hotel without dinner and wanted to eat at a local restaurant, so I waited for the restaurant to open before entering. Local people were enjoying the fish dishes caught that day. We ordered the sashimi set and a single item, and we were surprised at how delicious it was. (Original) 海の幸を求めてさがすも…志摩市とにかくお店がない。 やっと見つけたこちらのお店も17時30分から…。 宿泊先で夕飯なしプランで地元のお店で食べたいと思っていたので、開店時間を待って入店。 地元の方々がその日入った魚料理を楽しんでいました。 私達はお刺身セットに単品を頼みましたが、とても美味しくてびっくりしました。

(Translated by Google) I came to Mie Prefecture and used it at night. It's my first time seeing it. I love this store! ! I didn't see the dinner menu listed in the reviews, but there were a lot of dishes, including sashimi, fried, and simmered fish.As a fish lover, I had so many things I wanted to eat. I was so happy and couldn't stop being excited lol It was delicious and the taste reminded me of my mother's home cooking. Prices are also reasonable. The two of us ate and drank and had change for 10,000 yen. This is a store I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal♪ (Original) 三重県に遊びに来て夜に利用させていただきました。初見です。 私はこちらのお店大好きです！！ クチコミ等で夜メニュー載ってませんでしたが、一品が多く、魚に関してはお造り、揚げ物、煮炊き物、一通り揃っていてお魚大好きな私は本当食べたいものがいっぱいで、もうどれを食べようか幸せでワクワクが止まりませんでした笑 母親の家庭的な味を彷彿とさせるお味で美味しくいただきました。 価格もリーズナブルです。2人で飲み食いして一万円でお釣りがありました。また行きたいお店です。ごちそうさまでした♪

(Translated by Google) I had ochazuke and fried food for lunch. The ochazuke was really delicious and the price was reasonable. They also offer a variety of fried food as set meals and a la carte. (Original) 오차즈케와 튀김 요리를 점심식사로 먹었습니다. 오차즈케가 정말로 맛있었고 가격도 저렴했습니다. 여러 튀김요리도 정식과 단품으로 제공합니다.

(Translated by Google) The sashimi was chewy and delicious. For the bonito chazuke, the bonito sashimi was thinly sliced ​​and had no smell and was very delicious. The tempura had a thin batter and the vegetables were thinly sliced, making it easy to eat. Rather than a restaurant in a tourist area, it felt like an honest restaurant that was also frequented by locals, so it was quite good. My family didn't like the lack of menu items. (Original) お刺身がもちもちした食感で美味しかったです。カツオ茶漬けはカツオのお刺身は薄切りで臭くなくとても美味しかったです。天ぷらは衣が薄く、野菜も薄切りで食べやすかったです。 観光地のレストランというより地元の方も利用する実直なお店という感じでそれなりに良いという感じでした。 メニューが少ないのが家族には不評なポイントでした。

(Translated by Google) The bonito chazuke was delicious! Next time I'll have the sashimi set meal WITH chazuke! (Original) カツオ茶漬け美味しかった！今度は刺身定食WITH 茶漬けにしよう！

We travel from Canada to Mie prefecture. Search Google Maps for Marusei, a hidden gem that offers natural tiger pufferfish caught in the waters from Enshunada to Kumanonada, including Ise Bay. It is called "Anori Fugu". The reviews on google are so true they deserve 5 stars. The price is also reasonable. Marusei's fugu gozen is cheap and delicious. The Fugu Gozen is the standard Fugu Gozen, and there are three types of gozen, and the contents are the same except for the grilling. Fugu rice, Fugu tataki, Fugu fried, Fugu steamed in a clay pot, Fugu skin ponzu, all delicious. “Hirezake Gokujou Ippai” is a must-try item for those who can drink Japanese sake. Ise Lobster also very delicious 😋

(Translated by Google) This is the store where you drive along an empty mountain road, thinking you can see the ocean, and trusting your navigation system. I got in without a reservation before 12:00 on Sunday in November. Anori blowfish gozen is recommended. The tessa has a strong flavor and is moist, not chewy but delicious. Homemade ponzu sauce available The fried chicken comes in three pieces. It's hard to eat because it has bones, but it's delicious when you suck on it. Is it called blowfish rice? Flavored rice mixed with flaked puffer fish meat It was very delicious It's better to make a reservation The toilet is located outside near the store. Not in the store (Original) 何もない山道を走り　海がみえんと思いながら　ナビを信じて辿り着く店です 11月日曜12時前　予約なしで入れました 安乗ふぐ御膳は　お勧めです てっさは旨味が強くてしっとり　歯ごたえじゃなくて美味い 自家製ポン酢があいます 唐揚げは三切れ　骨付きなので食べにくいが　しゃぶるとオイシイ ふぐ飯というのか？　味付きご飯に　焼いたフグのほぐし身を混ぜ込んだものが とても美味しかった 予約したほうが良いみせです トイレは店舗そばの　屋外にあります 店内にはありません

(Translated by Google) I ordered the pufferfish 🐡 full course. The sashimi was thick and the portion was huge, it was amazing. The portions of the grilled dishes and hotpot were both huge, so I was completely full. The staff were very friendly, and I'd definitely like to return. (Original) フグ🐡フルコースを注文 てっさは肉厚で量も多くてサイコー 焼き物も鍋も量が多くてお腹いっぱいになりました 定員さんも感じが良くて、また伺いたいお店です

(Translated by Google) With the start of blowfish season, I went to the place I was looking for for a while. If you want Tessa, grilled blowfish, and Hirezake...then order additional grilled fish to your meal. ...The grilled meat is thick. Simply with salt and lemon. Ah, I'm satisfied. (Original) ふぐの季節スタートにつき、かねてからの目当ての場所まで。てっさ、焼きふぐ、ひれ酒を頂くならば…と御膳に焼きを追加でオーダー。 …焼きの身、肉厚。シンプルに塩とレモンで。 ああ、満足。

(Translated by Google) It's delicious. I asked for it on the course. I'm full. The staff was friendly and I was able to enjoy my meal. This is a recommended store. I'll bother you again. (Original) 美味しいです。コースで頼むみました お腹いっぱいになりました。 店員さんの愛想も、申し分なしで楽しく食事が出来ました。 お薦めの店です。 またお邪魔します。

(Translated by Google) Located right in front of the harbor, this restaurant serves fresh seafood all year round. We had some delicious Anori Fugu. (Original) 目の前が港で新鮮な海の幸を1年中食べさせてくれるお店。 あのりふぐ美味しくいだだきました。

The Service is extra ordinary, we were check in here and this is the breakfast area. Normally for breakfast you do not expect an extra service. However, when I arrived for breakfast, the staff guide me to my table, pull the chair out for me. Ask my choice of drink and my choice cook for the egg. After awhile again another service staff came and check if I need additional coffee. What is nice if they serve with a smile and respect to customer. Congratulation for doing a very good job on customer service.

An elegant yet simple five star hotel with a rich history, the lounges have drinks and snacks that are high quality.

Their Spiny Lobster soup is outstanding!

(Translated by Google) We stayed at Shima Kanko Hotel The Bay Suite. The clientele is mostly Japanese, with few inbound tourists. The relaxing atmosphere exudes a luxurious atmosphere. We went for breakfast. You can choose between a buffet or a Japanese-style breakfast, but since we were traveling with children, we chose the buffet. We started the buffet by choosing our main egg dish. (We ordered the seafood omelet.) The buffet included a wide selection of breads, appetizers including salads, fruit, and desserts, as well as a wide selection of Japanese and Western dishes. The "tekone sushi," a local dish from the Ise-Shima region, was also delicious. In addition to dining, this hotel offers a variety of activities, so we'll definitely return.

(Translated by Google) Lunch was fantastic, with a spectacular view of Ago Bay. The abalone steak with its burnt butter sauce was especially delicious! The spiny lobster with Americana sauce was also a luxurious delicacy. The Matsusaka beef steak was also incredibly delicious, with the tangy sauce going perfectly with the meat. (Original) 英虞湾の素晴らしい景色を眺めながらのランチ、最高でした。 特に鮑のステーキは焦がしバターのソースが絶品！ 伊勢海老のアメリケーヌソースもとても贅沢な逸品でした。 松阪牛のステーキも酸味が効いたソースとお肉の相性が抜群で最高に美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation in advance. First, I was ushered into the restaurant on the 5th floor of the Bell Suite by a staff member. I was confused because it wasn't open, and a staff member rushed over to tell me it was closed. It was probably the aftermath of the recent food poisoning incident. But thankfully, that wasn't the case. August 12, 2025 (Visit Date) I tried to make a reservation online, but it was fully booked. I called anyway, and was able to get a reservation. Since it was our anniversary, they changed the dessert to a luxuriously decorated version free of charge. Appetizers Spiny Lobster Appetizer Spiny Lobster Bisque Abalone Steak Japanese Black Beef Bread Dessert Coffee Small Sweets Sparkling Wine (Non-Alcoholic, ¥2,000) The Meal ¥30,000 per person ¥2 for ¥30,000 ¥2 for Drinks ¥62,000 total It was delicious. If you leave the restaurant and go to the back on your left, you'll find a play area for children. You can also play the piano for 10 minutes. The food was delicious. (I recommend getting a Miyako Hotel Card or Miyako Hotel app at the front desk for free before eating or drinking!) You'll earn points. I've taken a photo of the drink menu! Please make use of it.

(Translated by Google) I'd been wanting to try this restaurant since I was 20, but then I got seriously ill. This taught me the importance of acting on impulse, so I decided to stay at the hotel while I was visiting Ise Grand Shrine, which I'd also always wanted to visit. During my stay, I visited three times, including breakfast. I'll write about the two lunches I had here. (It's long, so please read on if you're interested.) Lunch on Day 3: I had the seafood curry I'd always wanted to try. I ordered the course meal, so I had scallop confit and gazpacho first. This is something I felt from the La Mer dish I had last night: I think their use of vinegar is mystically wonderful. They use sourness, crispness, and sweetness in an exquisite way to match the ingredients. Brilliant. The gazpacho was a little original, and I think the vinegar created a refreshing sensation that was perfect for the hot Japanese summer. It was a soup that built up anticipation for the next dish. And then the curry arrived. Is there any curry that is this mild, delicious, refined, and hearty? I can only say that I'm glad to be born Japanese. I guess they mixed bouillabaisse with Japanese curry. How do they make a bouillabaisse that's so fishy-free and have it enhance the curry without clashing with it? The abalone and spiny lobster were cooked to perfection. Soft and delicious, I wanted to keep chewing. I'd also never had saffron rice this delicious. Apparently it's Iga rice. It was just the right softness and the seasoning was mild, making it delicious on its own. The mango jam that came with it was amazing. I want to lick it and drink cognac all night long. For dessert, we had pumpkin pudding. With caramel ice cream and apple compote. The appetizer from La Mer the day before. This day's dessert. I had pumpkin three times, as an appetizer on the fourth day. The quality of the pumpkin, and the sauce and seasoning brought out its sweetness. I've never eaten such a delicious pumpkin dish. When I asked the restaurant staff about the deliciousness of this vegetable, I learned that Chef Higuchi speaks directly with farmers in Mie, purchases it, and prepares it in dishes. I'd like to return in the fall to eat more pumpkin dishes. Day 4 - Lunch I came here because I wanted to eat shrimp cream soup, abalone steak, and spiny lobster with American sauce. It's been almost 40 years since I last came here. To fully savor all three, I ordered the seafood course with spiny lobster with American sauce. The amuse-bouche was bigfin reef squid escabeche. As expected, the use of vinegar is very skillful. Shrimp consommé jelly and vegetable and seafood mousse. The shrimp jelly acts as a sauce, bringing out the flavor of all the vegetables and seafood. The cherry tomatoes are incredibly delicious. Sweet. Like fruit, yet still a proper vegetable. Pumpkin mousse is layered underneath the jelly. The pumpkin dishes here are absolutely delicious. I think the white fish mixed in with the shrimp and abalone is yellowtail. Eating it with the jelly removes the strong flavor and makes it really delicious. Shrimp cream soup. One of the best bisques I've ever had. It's a little salty, but it really brings out the shrimp flavor. The balance of the cream is just perfect. According to the restaurant staff, the seafood curry and bisque are the must-try dishes at this restaurant. I can totally understand why. I'd love to have it for my last dinner. Abalone steak. Browned butter sauce. The abalone is simmered with daikon radish and salt for three hours. Even if you simmer just one, it won't become this soft unless you simmer a large amount at once. (The person I mentioned earlier apparently tried it at home, lol.) This is what happens when you try hearty French cuisine featuring the finest Japanese ingredients. It's so good it's unfair. The abalone was tender, and the sauce had a strong buttery flavor; I ate it all, dipping bread in it. Spiny Lobster with American Sauce This is another example of how spiny lobster can be made into a delicious French dish in Japan. The shrimp is delicious. The sauce is delicious. That's all. I dug into it in silence. Even the legs. Lol. I ate absentmindedly, as if I were at a relative's house. Sorry for my bad manners. Dessert. Sweet potato mousse and sesame ice cream. The sweet potato mousse was delicious. It had something in common with the pumpkin, and the sweetness and flavor of the sweet potato were brought out to 120%. I was able to fully enjoy both traditional, powerful French cuisine and sauces and seasonings that brought out the full flavor of the vegetables. I would also like to thank the restaurant staff for listening to my various requests and answering my persistent questions. I would like to visit again. (Original) 20歳の頃から、いつか食べに行きたいと思っている間に、自分が大病して、思い立ったが吉日なんだと反省して学び、同じく一度は来たいと思ってた、伊勢神宮訪問に合わせて、ホテルに宿泊させて頂きました。 滞在中、朝食合わせて、3度、伺わせて頂きました。 2度頂いたお昼について書かせて頂きます。（長いので、興味のある方どうぞ） 3日目昼食。 食べてみたかった、念願の海の幸カレー。 コースでお願いしたので、ホタテのコンフィとガスパッチョを先に頂きました。 昨夜頂いた、ラメールの料理から感じていることですが。 ヴィネガーの使い方が、神秘的に素晴らしいと思います。酸っぱさ、スッキリさ、甘さを素材に合わせて、絶妙に使い分けていらっしゃる。素晴らしい。 ガスパッチョ、少し、オリジナルな、暑すぎる日本の夏にぴったりの清涼感をヴィネガーが演出してる（と思う）ガスパッチョでした。 次の料理への期待も膨らむスープでした。 そして、カレーの到着。こんなマイルドで美味で洗練とガッツリが交わったカレーがあろうか？ 日本人に生まれてよかったとしか言いようがない。 ブイヤベースに日本のカレーを混ぜました、ということなんだろうが。どうしたら、こんなに生臭さのないブイヤベースが作れて、カレーとお互い喧嘩しないで、味を高め合えるの？ 鮑、伊勢海老の火の入り方も完璧。柔らかくて、美味しくて、ずっと噛んでいたい。 こんなに美味しいサフランライスも初めて。伊賀お米だとか。柔らかさが程ほく、味付けがマイルドでこれだけでも美味しい。 つけ合わせてあった、マンゴーのコンフィチュールが最高。夜にこれを舐めながら、ずっとコニャックを飲んでいたい。 デザートは、カボチャのプリン。 カラメルのアイスとリンゴのコンポートを寄せて。 前日のラメールの前菜。この日のデザート。そして4日目の前菜と3度カボチャを頂いたのですが。 カボチャの素材の良さ、その甘みを活かすためのソースと味付け。こんなに美味しいカボチャ料理を食べたことがありません。レストランの方から、この野菜の美味しさについて伺ったところ、樋口シェフが三重の農家さんと直接お話しされて、仕入れて、料理を作られてると伺いました。また、カボチャ料理を食べに、秋に帰ってきたいです。 4日目　昼食 海老のクリームスープ、鮑のステーキ、伊勢海老のアメリカンソースを食べたくて、ここに来たんです。 来るまでに40年近く経ってしまった。 この三つをがっつり味わうべく、海の幸のコースに、伊勢海老のアメリカンソースをつけて頂きました。 アミューズは、アオリイカのエスカベッシュ。やはり、ヴィネガーの使い方がとてもお上手。 エビのコンソメのジュレと、野菜と海産物のムース。 海老のジュレがソースの役割を果たして、全ての野菜と海産物を引き立ててる。 フルーツトマトが劇的に美味しい。甘い。フルーツのような、それでいて、ちゃんと野菜。カボチャのムースがジュレの下に敷いてある。ここのカボチャ料理は本当に美味しい。海老や鮑に混じって入っていた白身はぶりだろうか。ジュレと一緒に食べることでクセが消えて本当に美味しかった。 海老のクリームスープ。 人生最高のビスクの一つです。少し塩分強いけど、ガツンと海老の味を食べさせてくれた。クリームとの量の配分が絶妙。 レストランの方曰く、海の幸カレーとビスクがこのレストランで絶対に食べてもらいたい料理だそうです。 とてもわかります。最後の夕食に、自分も食べたいかな？ 鮑のステーキ。 焦がしバターのソース。 鮑は、大根と塩で3時間煮るそうです。一つだけ煮ても、大量に一度に煮ないと、ここまでの柔らかさにはならないそうです。 （先程の方がご自身のお家でやってみたそうです笑） 日本の最高の食材をがっつりしたフランス料理で食べようというと、こうなりますよね。反則的に美味しいです。鮑は柔らかいし、ソースは、バターが強烈で、パンにつけて食べまくりました。 伊勢海老のアメリカンソース こちらも、伊勢海老を日本で美味しくフランス料理にするなら？という料理。海老が美味しい。ソースが美味しい。ザッツオール。黙ってほじりました。足まで。笑親戚の家で食べるように無心で食べてしまいました。お行儀悪くてごめんなさい。 デザート。さつまいものムースとセサミのアイス。 さつまいものムースが美味しい。カボチャと通じるものがあって、さつまいもの甘味と美味しさが120%発揮されてる美味しさでした。 伝統的な力強いフランス料理と、野菜の美味しさを120%引き出す、ソースと味付け。その両方をたっぷり堪能できました。 また、色々ワガママを聞いてくださって、しつこい質問にも答えてくださった、レストランの方々、ありがとうございました。また、伺いたいです。
