    Mie Pref. Tobashi Toba 1-7-1
    In 1893 Mikimoto Kokichi opened the first pearl raising facility here on Mikimoto Pearl Island and after the island was opened to the public in 1951 it has drawn numerous sightseers. On the island, which is approximately 23,000 square meters in size, you'll find the Mikimoto Pearl Museum with everything about pearls as well as the Mikimoto Kokichi Memorial Hall which will introduce you to the life of Mikimoto Kokichi, the Pearl King. With these and demonstrations of traditional white clad Ama pearl diver techniques you can immerse yourself in the wonder of pearls, making this almost a Pearl Theme Park.

    Mie Prefecture Toba City
    This is the largest of the outlying islands of Toba City, and a popular activity is walking tours that take visitors around historic sites such as the kubizuka (a burial mound for a severed head) and dozuka (a mound for the severed torso) of Yoshitaka Kuki, the lord of Toba Castle who committed seppuku (suicide by ritual disembowelment to avoid a disgraceful execution) after suffering defeat in the Battle of Sekigahara, as well as offering a view of the work in the fishing port. There are also many other sites to see such as the original tree cultivar for Yamato Tachibana (a type of citrus tachibana), which is a prefectural Natural Monument, and a beech tree that looks just like a dragon. Every year on the old calendar the Hachiman Festival is held from January 17-19, and the Oiyare-fune at the end of August is also interesting to see.

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.
