About Mie Prefecture
Mie Prefecture, located in Japan's Kansai region, is celebrated for its harmonious blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Positioned along the eastern coast of Honshu, Mie is characterized by its diverse scenery, from lush mountains and clear rivers to the picturesque coastline of Ise Bay. The prefecture's name reflects its welcoming spirit, derived from the idea of a "gate" to sacred places.
Renowned for its historical and spiritual significance, Mie is home to the revered Ise Jingu Shrine, one of Japan's most important Shinto shrines, attracting pilgrims from across the nation. Additionally, the rugged landscapes of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, a UNESCO World Heritage site, further enrich Mie's cultural tapestry. Mie’s culinary landscape offers unique flavors, with specialties like Ise-ebi (Japanese spiny lobster) and Matsusaka beef, one of the country's most highly regarded types of wagyu. These dishes embody Mie’s emphasis on quality and tradition. While steeped in history, Mie is also a hub of traditional craftsmanship, particularly in pottery, with Iga-yaki ceramics being a notable example. The region’s ongoing preservation of traditional arts, combined with its natural wonders, makes Mie a captivating destination that resonates with the timeless beauty and spirit of Japan.
