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.

I visited Shima Spain Village, Parque Espana with some friends in September 2015. It's a really nice park with some great rides. Don't miss Pyrenees, it's amazing! Gran Montseratt is really good fun too. There's a Christmas themed dark ride too which I enjoyed. Don't miss the dark ride, Batalla del Alcatar, it's great!
The park has a museum feel to it, or a cultural theme park, the entrance is lined with little gift shops and cafes which were really nice, when we visited there were costume characters too. Great fun, worth the drive from Osaka.

The highlights of this small aquarium are the penguins, the pearl diver demonstration, and the big sunfish (Manbou). I would recommend this place for families with elementary school aged children. It is a small aquarium so it will only take an hour or so to visit.

Have just arrived; run down, deserted, depressing. Hard to believe that it can be busy and have clear waters. Is like a Carl Pilkington Special. Maybe the first westerner visitor!

The lighthouse is at the tip of a small fishing village. From the car park, walk a little uphill for about 5 min, past some local shops selling seafood, pearls etc. It offers a good panoramic view of the sea and bay across.

Amanoiwato is some distance from Ise-shrine.
Driving a car along Isuzu river, you can find "Amanoiwatoguchi", its entrance.
It's described as the place where Amaterasu-ōmikami, the god of the sun, hid.
As the episode indicated, there is some kind of mythological atmosphere.
The fresh water from the spring is chosen as the 100 best waters in Japan.
You might feel something spiritual.

車で中腹まで行けますが、途中から500mくらいは徒歩で展望台に行くことになります。リアス式海岸の英虞湾に浮かぶ真珠養殖筏等絶景で、天気の良い冬場は富士山も見えます。

灯台麓に車を停めて、坂道を登ること7-8分！途中、お土産店があり、地元のおば様方が、海藻や貝殻などを販売！それを見ながら行くと、大王崎灯台です。200円を払い、灯台の上に登ると、一面に広がる景色は絶景です。
開放感に浸れて、とても良かったです！
