Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival Day in Osaka to Mie
On the first day, arrival at Kansai International airport is followed by a warm welcome from a guide and a transfer to the hotel. Start with airport pickup and meet the guide for a private transfer to Mie. After check-in, enjoy a welcome dinner featuring Matsusaka beef. The day sets the stage for exploring a region known for food and spirituality.
Day 2: Discover Ise: Japan’s Sacred Legacy and Local Life
Begin with a quiet morning at Ise Jingu’s Outer Shrine, dedicated to Toyouke, the deity of food, clothing, and shelter. Then continue to the Inner Shrine, devoted to Amaterasu, the sun goddess and mythological ancestor of Japan’s imperial family. Together, these two sites form Ise Jingu: Japan’s most sacred Shinto shrine and a spiritual cornerstone for centuries. For lunch, hop aboard a yakatabune floating restaurant for fresh seafood served with a view of the bay. End the day on the nostalgic streets of Okage Yokocho, browsing Edo-era storefronts filled with local food and crafts.
Day 3: Mie’s Coastal Story: Shrines, Ama Culture, and VISON
Start the day at Futami Okitama Shrine, where the Wedded Rocks rise from the sea as a quiet symbol of connection. Then climb to the Yokoyama Observatory Deck for a sweeping view over Ago Bay’s scattered islands. Lunch is with the Ama divers, freshly caught, simply prepared, and shared by the sea. The day winds down at VISON, a modern village of shops, gardens, and cafés, where tradition and design meet in the open air.
Day 4: Ninja Heritage and Urban Evenings: Iga to Osaka
Start in Iga with a visit to the Ninja Museum, a real ninja house featuring trap doors and secret areas. Then see a live demonstration showcasing the skills of Japan’s legendary warriors. Enjoy a local tofu dengaku lunch, a specialty of the area. In the evening, arrive in Osaka for free time.
Day 5: Fly Home
Enjoy the day of shopping then a transfer to the airport with a private vehicle. Your next destination? Home sweet home. But remember, it's not sayonara yet, it's "See you soon!" The question is, where to from here?
