- 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."

Mie Areas
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.
