小学生のころ、修学旅行でいったものの、当時は関心もなく～
何年か前に友人たちといったけれど時間がなく、あまり記憶に残らず～
今回は事前に調べていきました。近鉄で伊勢にいったので、近鉄とバスのパスをつかいました。まずは外宮へ。外宮には歩いてもいけるけど、時間短縮のためとせっかくパスがあるので、バスでいきました。それからまたバスで内宮へ。順番が大事だそうで、先に外宮、それから内宮だそうです。それと片一方だけの参拝はよくないそうです。
ものすごく大きな木がたくさんあり、パワーをもらえそうです。木に手をあてて拝んで？いる人たちもいました。
You can take a bus at the station and visit Geku and Naigu. (You can put your suitcase in the coin locker, or ask at the counter of the tourist information, next building of the station.) Please visit Geku first and then, visit Naigu.
Ise Grand Shrine is one of the most famous shrines in Japan and so many Japanese
worship this shrine.
After visiting Naigu, you can enjoy eating and shopping at 'Okage Yokocho' which is
close to Naigu.

3. Suzuka Circuit
Overall Ratings

Since its birth as Japan's first full-fledged racing course in 1962, Suzuka Circuit has been the center of Japanese motorsports.The Formula One Japanese Grand Prix, launched in 1987, while the "Coca-Cola Zero"(R) Suzuka 8hours World Endurance Road Race racks up its 30th race. Both races are well-established as big events beyond the framework of motorsports. While hosting races, Suzuka Circuit has also been engaged in promoting motorsports culture. As part of this effort, a racing school was established to nurture drivers and riders able to compete at an international level.At the amusement park Motopia, there is a diverse range of driving entertainment for young children. This is based on the corporate vision of cultivating "future fans" and promoting car culture in Japan. We have also focused on traffic safety education, along with providing an environment and services worthy of a resort, a place where you can enjoy a holiday with a quality hotel and restaurants. We have proactively developed innovative leisure facilities and services in step with the times. At the root of all these activities lie our spirit of "hospitality" and the "mobility resort" concept. Suzuka Circuit offers a racing arena, along with other motorsports and entertainment. From children to adults, there is something here to excite the hearts of people from all over the world.

I would definitely recommend this place, despite not being easily accessible.I would recommend to avoid weekends in summertime, since there would be many Japanese people visiting. There are several kinds of attractions that make this place worthwhile. There is both amusement park and water parked - during the summer. My daughter loved both. There are better amusement parks in Japan, of course. But I would recommend it anyway since the Suzuka circuit is something not to be missed either. And you have everything in just one ticket - motorbike rides apart.
4. Akame Shijuhachi Waterfall

Akame Shijuhachi(48)-Taki(waterfall) was great. I have some tips for whoever wants to get there.
1) Firstly- transportation! don't be fooled by Google Maps, There is a way to get to the entrance only be public transportation. After you get to the station near the waterfall area (I don't remember the name, but there's only one...) go with the left side of the sidewalk and join the line to the bus. its final destination is near the waterfall. you just need to climb up the road and get to the entrance. A photo will be uploaded soon.
##**~~~ you can use JRPass for a free ride in this bus ~~~**##
2) Secondly- get ready to walk uphill. There are 48 Waterfalls, which means 48 Waterfalls height to climb. there are tons of stairs and it takes probably about 5 hours to do one-way track. If you want to do the whole track and not quit in the middle and return (as my family) consider the walking time, come early and be ready to come back at night, since it's not a circular track.
Also, This track is good for everyone, from children to elderly- be sure your knees are ready for an uphill and downhill walking.
3) Food~! Near the entrance there's a yummy pastries' stand. it's the nearest stand to the entrance- highly recommended!!!!!!
4) Stamps! There are brochures next to the entrance (PANFULETO in japanease) and if you get 4 or more stamps (during the track there are places to stamp your brochure)- you can get a present. I don't know what it is since I only had three.
5) There are places to buy something to drink in the middle of the track, but it's a little pricey so try to bring our own water and food
6) The fee is attached in a photo. 400 yen for an adult and 150 yen for a child (younger than 18).
5. Toba Aquarium

Reviewed By Higuma2017 - Vechta, Germany
This is an old aquarium, renewed several times, with some excellent display and some others with debatable space for the animals. Still this is my favourite aquarium in Japan,out of dozens of others one sees around the country. An AMAZING collection of sea and river creatures, and some that you will probably not find together anywhere else, such as West African Manatees, Dugongs, Finless Porpoises, Steller Sea Lions, Baikal Seals, Commersons Dolphins, Sturgeons, Sea Angels, Giant Isopods, and so much more... This is gold, and even though it does not have the whale sharks of Osaka or Okinawa it is worthwhile the day trip.

Touring in Japan using public transport can be challenging. Buses don't often have Western numerals! Writing a destination down, unlike you can use Japanese characters, is going to be no good. We were four and we took a taxi. The taxi driver drove us there, waited, and drove us back to Ugata station. Bicycle is the answer.
7. Gozaisho-dake

Reviewed By kaoriinmie
Gozaisho is conveniently located for daytrip from Nagoya, about an hour and half by train plus bus (or by car, depending on the traffic). There are a ropeway and lift to the mountain top, easy to go enjoy the view from the top. You can enjoy the good view of the Centrair airport across Ise bay. In winter when the air is clear, you can even spot Mt. Fuji. In autumn, you may have to wait for an hour or so for the ropeway ride as it is one of the most popular execution spots around there for enjoying autumn leaves. But to avoid the crowded ropeway, you have to climb up rocky routes which will take more than three hours, so the 12 min ropeway ride with one hour waiting time is rather recommendable for those who prefers carefree hiking. However, the crowded ropeway doesn't matter for me this time as I went there to try my first rock climbing. And I'm writing this as it was such a wonderful experience. Gozaisho is also a famous spot for rock climbing. You can see dozens of people clinging to the walls of rocks in season. We joined a climbing session by an experienced mountain guide who opens a climbing school there. We were just a beginner, but he and his wife were very careful to guide us, so we enjoyed the climbing and the beautiful scenary. (Gozaisho climbing school, just for your reference. It has an website in Japanese but without English version, so cannot be searched in English.) The natural walls have many climbing routes, easier one for beginners to very challenging ones. The ropeway or the rocks, whichever you visit, it will be fun.

Had a great time in Tokoname exploring the pottery for which that region is famous. Would recommend shipping or carrying on any purchases made. One item in one checked in bag broke. Many others were fine with carry-on. Also highly recommend the little udon noodle shop in town.....don't know the name unfortunately!

If you could understand their rearing the see animal, you could enjoy seeing the performance by dolphins including the crossbreed of Risso's dolphin & Bottlenose, which has a nickname PUDDING, 23years old, the world record as the culture date, and one by the sea lion. In addition, you have a chance to shake hands with dolphin before getting the certification their office issued.
