    Mie Pref. Tsushi Isshindenkoudubeta 3060
    This museum opened in 2014. To reach it, take a bus for five minutes from the west entrance of Kintetsu, JR, and Ise Railway's Tsu Station and get off at the Sogo Bunka Center Mae stop. It's right there. The museum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the prefecture. Its main exhibition room depicts Mie's characteristic natural environment around the perimeter of the room, and in the middle presents a comprehensive overview of its people, physical items, and history of cultural exchange. You can also see a fully reconstructed ancient elephant known as the Mie Elephant, consisting of the oldest fossils to be discovered in Mie prefecture. In the back yard there's a reproduction of the Torii Kofun burial mound's stone hut.

    凄くお金をかけて作られた建物ですね。 一時間ほど時間が余ったので、行ってみました。 コロナ禍なので展示内容にも色々制限がかかっていましたが、 510円の入場料としては、それなりに楽しめる内容だったと思います。 ただ、非常に平べったい展示なので、もっと尖った特徴のある内容の展示の方が人を呼べるのでは?と思いました。例えば伊賀忍者とか...

    Mie Pref. Takigunmeiwachou Takegawa 503
    This historical museum run by Mie Prefecture is located about a 15-minute walk from Kintetsu Railway's Saiku Station. The place where the museum is built is the site of the palace for the ancient imperial princesses serving at the Ise shrine from ancient times until the period of the northern and southern dynasties (1336-1392). The exhibits are centered on Shinto rituals, history and culture related to the princesses serving at Ise Jingu Shrine. The research results of the townscape at the time based on over 30-year excavation survey of the site are also on display. Special exhibitions and lectures are also held, and among them is a unique one where you can tour an actual site currently being excavated.

    Mie Pref. Matsusakashi Sotogomagarichou 1
    This facility is also called the Haniwa-kan. You can reach it by taking the bus from JR and Kintetsu Matsusaka Station that runs counterclockwise around the city. Get off at the Shimin Bunka-kaikan (Matsusakashi) bus stop, and it's right there. There's a permanent display of scholastically important haniwa earthen objects like the boat-shaped Funagata Haniwa excavated from the Takarazuka Burial Mound, a National Historic Site. Its citizen's gallery is in a restored cotton yarn warehouse built in 1923 that was part of the former Kanebo Matsusaka Spinning Factory. The warehouse is a Nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Property, and the interior and the eaves at the front are original.

    大型の船形埴輪の展示がある施設です。入館料は110円と格安です。船形埴輪は非常に迫力がありました。また、はにわ館と同じ敷地には1923年に建てられた煉瓦造りの旧カネボウ綿糸松阪工場綿糸倉庫もあり、併せて楽しめるかと思います。

    Mie Matsusaka-shi Honmachi 2195
    Counted among the many wealthy merchants in Matsusaka with stores in Edo, along with Mitsui, Hasegawa and Nagai the high-ranking Ozu family served the Kishu clan as financiers in 1755. Inside the Matsusaka Merchant Museum which opened up as a museum in the former residence of Seizaemon Ozu, there is a man-ryo-bako (literally, a box to store 10,000 ryo) rather than the sen-ryo-bako (literally, a box to store 1,000 ryo) and gives one a sense of the influence of the wealthy Ise merchants who had a shop in Edo.

    Mie Tsu-shi Tarumi 3032-18

    津市にある、陶芸家の作品を展示した博物館です。人からうわさを聞いていってきましたが、それほど陶芸に造詣があるわけではない私なので、その価値はよくわからなかったというのが率直な感想です。

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.
