Ise Shrines, Mikimoto Pearl Island.






Last weekend our friends drove us out of Shikoku to the main island, Honshyu, where we visited Mie Prefecture. Mie Prefecture is part of both, the Kinki Region and the Tokai Region. The prefecture is home to the Ise Shrines, Japan's most sacred Shinto shrines. Prefectural capital is Tsu City. The Formula One Grand Prix of Japan is held annually in Suzuka City. We visited Ise Shrines and a marvelous Mikimoto Pearl Island. I posted some of the pictures I`ve taken and images of the art pieces we`ve seen.
