    Mie Iga-shi Ueno Marunouchi 117-13 Uenokoen Uchi
    This temple was built in 1942 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the birth of Iga City-born haiku master Matsuo Basho. Standing in a corner of Ueno Park, the building is said to represent Basho, a frequent traveler, on the road. The temple enshrines a life-sized Iga ware statue of Basho which is only made viewable to the general public during the Basho Festival on the date of his death. The temple's distinctive rounded roof represents a traditional Japanese traveling hat, while its octagonal eaves represent traveling clothes under a traditional straw raincoat. As the only temple in the country to represent the traveling poet Basho via its very architecture, it was designated a National Important Cultural Property (Structure) in 2010.

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.
