Mount Miune

A mountain with an elevation of 1,235 m that straddles Mitsue Village in eastern Nara Prefecture and Matsusaka City and Tsu City in Mie Prefecture. Designated as part of Murou Akame Aoyama Quasi-National Park and counted among Japan’s 300 Famous Mountains, it offers nature that changes beautifully with the seasons. Hacchodaira, a plain-like area spreading out just below the summit on the Mie side, is a popular scenic viewpoint.

Hakodate Bugyosho

Hakodate Magistrate’s Office faithfully recreates the Edo Shognate’s security base around Japan’s northern territory. It is built at the original location in the former Goryokaku (the star-shaped fort), using as much similar skills and provisions as those in the Edo Period, such as pine beams, Bingo tatami mats or sliding doors with hand-made paper.
