    On Mt. Reizan in the northern end of the Nunobiki mountain range and Reizanji Temple within it, there is a variety of ginkgo tree called ohatsuki-icho. Characterized by the fact that its seeds grow on the leaves, the trees there are bigger than others of the same species and plentiful. It was designated a Prefectural Natural Monument in March 1996. When the autumn leaves are at their peak, the trees are very beautiful and colorful. In addition, Reizanji Temple is also the starting point of the climbing path for Mt. Reizan. There are colonies of asebi (Dwarf Lily-of-the-Valley) and Japanese holly at the summit, and easy to stop by when on a hike. Reizanji Temple's sekibutsugun (group of stone Buddhas) has been designated a cultural property by the city, and is a very attractive photography spot.

    紅葉がみごろということで、予定を変更して、立ち寄りました。 細めの林道が結構つづいた山の中腹にお寺があります。 境内にあるイチョウが真っ盛りでした。 根元一面が黄色い絨毯状態で鐘楼もイチョウの葉で覆われていました。 桜の名所ということですが、黄葉もよいです。 あと、途中のため池でリフレクションがみれました。

    A camphor tree that stands along the road approaching Outer Ise Shrine. It is said the tree is over 900 years old. Legends states that when Taira no Kiyomori visited Outer Ise Shrine as an imperial envoy, a branch from the tree brushed against his ceremonial hat. An angry Kiyomori cut off the branch giving the tree its name. In present time the tree has forked into two trunks.

    "This designated National Historic Site stands on the old Tokaido highway in Nomura, Kameyama City. During the Edo period, the Tokugawa shogunate government placed distance markers along major highways every ""ri"" (approximately 3.927 kilomters) starting at the Nihonbashi bridge; this particular marker is the only extant example in the prefecture. A 400-year-old muku tree grows on top of the distance marker's mound."

    Mie Matsusaka-shi Iitakacho Ako 2507
    "This Shinto shrine stands on National Route 166 in Ako, Iitaka-cho, Matsusaka City. The shrine was established over 1,000 years ago by the Kasugataisha shrine in Nara as temporary imperial lodgings. The shrine is deeply connected to water; for example, in a ceremony called the ""O-mizu-okuri,"" sacred water from the Akaoke well west of the shrine is offered to the gods. A huge sacred camphor tree on the shrine's grounds is estimated to be over a millennium old and has been designated a Natural Monument by the prefecture."

Spread across the eastern side of the Kii Peninsula, Mie prefecture boasts hundreds of kilometers of pretty coastline comprising the oyster-rich Toba city and Shima National Park all the way down to Kumano, a city that marks the beginning of part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, which runs into neighboring Wakayama prefecture. However, Mie is best known for the Ise Jingu Shinto shrine inland, one of the oldest and largest shrines in the country.
