Itinerary
Stop 1
Ise Grand Shrine (Naiku): Begin at the center of Japan’s Shinto religion. Cross the Uji Bridge over the Isuzu River and walk through ancient cypress forests to the main sanctuary.
Stop 2
Okage Yokocho (Old Street): Located right outside the shrine, this bustling street recreates the Edo period. Since you are departing from Suzuka, you can enjoy a leisurely lunch here! Don't miss the famous "Akafuku" sweets and "Ise Udon" noodles.
Stop 3
Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks): A short drive brings you to the coast. Visit the Futami Okitama Shrine and see the famous "Wedded Rocks" connected by a sacred rope, standing resilient against the ocean waves.
Stop 4
Because the drive from Suzuka is quick, you might have extra time to visit Ise Jingu (Geku) or even stop by the Toba area (time permitting) before heading back.
