Amagoya experience in Toshijima island & Mikimo pearl

Ise-Shima National Park
The Ise-Shima National Park features the rias (saw-toothed) coastlines and plants and vegetation that grow in a mild climate. It is located in the Shima Peninsular in central Mie, and covers a vast area expanding 50 kilometers east-west and 40 kilometers north-south. Ise-Shima is not only famous for the Ise-jingu Shrine which boasts a 2,000 year-long history, but also for other various sightseeing spots along the coast. You will feel the ethnic culture and history that are strongly related to the ocean life, along with a lot more charms that have been blended with the natural beauty and local people’s life.

Toushi-jima Island
There are four famous isolated islands that belong to Toba City. Among them, the Toushi-jima Island is prominent for its unique folk culture and history. The island, which is situated 2.5 kilometers northeast to the port of Toba, is 6 kilometer wide east-west, 1.5 kilometer long north-south, and is an active fishing ground. Local residents speak the island dialect, so being just a couple of miles away from the main island, you will feel as if you were in a totally different world.
