Ise Sea Paradise
Ise Sea Paradise is an aquarium near the famed "Meoto Iwa" (Married Couple Rocks) in Ise City, offering up-close encounters with a variety of marine creatures.
After visiting Ise Sea Paradise, you might gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders of nature and feel more aware of the importance of marine conservation.
Shirahige Shrine
Standing in the northwestern part of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, this is the oldest Shinto shrine in Omi, which is said to be over 2,000 years old. The vermilion-lacquered Otorii gate stands in the middle of the lake across Route 161, reminiscent of the Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, Hiroshima Prefecture, and is called the "Itsukushima of Omi”.
This beautiful shrine stands by the lake. I took a taxi from the station just to visit, and it was absolutely worth the trip.
Hakone Shrine
Hakone Shrine sits just steps from Lake Ashi, a spot dotted with coveted Hakone destinations like Owakudani and Togen-dai. The shrine heralds the Hakone Ookami god, and remains one of the most renowned shrines in Kanto.
Hakone Shrine has a gorgeous torii gate in the water—makes for great photos! The only downside is that it's crowded, so you'll have to wait in line.
