Ise Jingu

Reviewed By soxfan1975 - Needham, United States

We visited this shrine while on a cruise ship excursion from Toba. It is not very far from the port, and definitely worth visiting. Our five-hour excursion from Toba included the Grand Shrine and Okage Yokocho shopping area at Ise, the Futami Okitama shrine, Meotoiwa, and Pearl Island at Toba. This is a very spiritually meaningful and interesting place.

Ise Shrine Geku

Reviewed By HotRodHeart - France, null

This shrine is the smaller one, situated not far from the town center. It is great to stroll around, and enjoy the atmosphere of greenery and mystery that floats around. You can end up in little trails in the forest, and really feel the nature around you. I visited this shrine before the bigger one the next day, and it's a good thing I did. It's like going to a different scale.

Mitsui Outlet Park Jazz Dream Nagashima

50 minutes by direct express bus from Chubu Centrair International Airport.One of the largest outlet malls in Japan with many shops for luxurious brand products, adjacent to the amusement park and spa facility; 50 minutes at the fastest by bus from Nagoya. ● Stores / 240 stores approx.

Reviewed By futomaki79 - London, United Kingdom

There was a huge range of shops and all had a good selection including the big luxury brands. No queues to get in unlike the luxury outlet mall in London (Bicester Village) and it was nice to go around and not crowded. We got the bus from Nagoya station. It was easy to find and straightforward to buy tickets. Gucci had a nice selection of items. They had good the classic large GG belt at a very good price compared to the UK price, also I doubt you would find this in London. You can go to the tourist info centre and pick up the map/info booklet which has a pink box stating if you show it at the counter you can get a voucher booklet. This entitles you to discounts at some stores including Coach and Agnes B. Obviously there aren't vouchers for the luxury brands. There are facilities for families. It seems quite well thought out. I'd definitely go again if I'm in the area.
