    Kijin, Kitakita-gun, Mie Prefecture Kizu
    This natural valley is one of Japan's most prominent, stretching approximately three kilometers along Mataguchi River, one of Choshi River's tributaries. It features various large strangely shaped rocks, beautiful clear water and surrounding nature. The name Uotobikei comes from the Ayu and Amago fish that fly up the river, and the fact that visitors can look from the rocks into the blue transparent water and see the fish swimming all the way down to the riverbed. There small slides which young children can enjoy playing on, as well as rocks that are about the same size as a tennis court, from which visitors can jump into the river, making it a popular spot to enjoy playing in the river.

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.
