2025 Shima Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Shima Spain Village is a Spanish-style amusement park with three main highlights. The first is the various performances and parades, especially the parade held in the square at 12:45 every day, which is a must-see. The second is a leisurely stroll through the Spanish-style streets. The third is to enjoy the various amusement facilities, including the screaming facility PYRENEES with a maximum speed of 100KM, which is the world's largest hanging roller coaster. Take the limited express train from Osaka Namba for about 2 hours and 30 minutes and get off at Ugata Station. Then take a bus from Ugata Station and it will arrive in about 13 minutes. Spanish Village is not as famous as Tokyo Disneyland or Universal Studios Osaka, but it is well worth a day out.

This time, I will introduce Shima Spain Village in Shima, Mie Prefecture! I went there on a weekday in September, and it was very empty, and there was no waiting time for any of the attractions, or it only took about 5 minutes in line 🙌 However, the site is much larger than I imagined! ! There was a parade and a roller coaster that was even more thrilling than I expected, so it was a lot of fun as an amusement park ⭐️ Of course, it is also recommended for families ‼ ️ We were able to see a beautiful sunset just before closing time ☀️ If you go to Mie Prefecture, please try to spend a day at Shima Spain Village ☺️ 📍 〒517-0292 Sakazaki, Isobe-cho, Shima City, Mie Prefecture #100 Travel Style #Mie Prefecture #Shima Spain Village #Amusement Park #0 Yen Travel Autumn

#train The most proud #express sightseeing train of #Kinki Railway Company is none other than #Shima-no-Kaze or #Shima-Kaze (#しまかぜ), which has been popular for more than 10 years since its debut in 2013. There is one train departing from Osaka Namba Station, Kyoto Station and Nagoya Station every day to and from Mie Ise Shima area, and the terminus is at Kashikojima Station. The blue-green color scheme symbolizes the clear skies of Ise-Shima. There are a total of six carriages. The beginning and end of the first and last rows are made up of six large pieces of glass formed from multiple angles, showing a sense of jumping layers. The front and rear sections are observation cars, which are also the most popular cars, especially the first row, which has a view as wide as the driver's seat. In addition to the popular observation car, there are also group boxes with seats for 3 to 6 people. More importantly, one of the coffee cars is divided into two floors, and you must be led to your seat by a service staff. If you arrive late and there is no seat available, you can only eat at your seat. There are many local meals and specialties of Mie on the bus, such as curry rice, Matsusaka beef bento, Akafuku's cakes, etc. I ordered curry rice, which was full of spice. If the departure point or season is different, the meals will also change accordingly. No reservations are required for meals, just order whatever is available. Except for the group boxes, all other seats are arranged in three rows in a light goose yellow color. The leather chairs are soft and comfortable to sit on, with reading lights on the sides. The electric chairs can adjust the angle freely, and are equipped with a small table. Even the curtains are automatic, and a basic USB charging station is required. Each room has a large glass window, allowing you to enjoy the scenery of Ise from all angles. Large luggage lockers allow you to bring your luggage without worry. The ticket price is not expensive. From Osaka to Kashikojima, it costs ¥5,460 (basic ticket price ¥2,770 + express fee and Shimakaze train fee ¥2,690); from Kyoto to Kashikojima, it costs ¥6,150 (basic ticket price ¥3,060 + express fee and Shimakaze train fee ¥3,090); from Nagoya, it costs ¥5,060 (basic ticket price ¥2,370 + express fee and Shimakaze train fee ¥2,690). If you have already purchased the 5-day Rail Pass, you only need to pay the express fee. For the first time, I felt that 2 hours on the train was not long at all. Kintetsu made "riding the train itself a pleasure" and I recommend it to everyone.

Shima Mediterranean Village is a spot in Ise-Shima, Mie Prefecture, where you can feel like you are really in the Mediterranean while still in Japan! We would like to introduce you to Shima Mediterranean Village! ! Shima Mediterranean Village is full of photo spots that are perfect for Instagram, restaurants, and activities, and you can stay overnight or use it as a day trip❗️ I took the sea taxi from Kashikojima Station (1,000 yen one way, reservation required) and enjoyed a 10-minute boat trip! The sea was crystal clear, and the boat trip with the refreshing breeze was very comfortable✨ The eighth orange juice is 100% freshly squeezed orange juice that is squeezed on the spot! 🍊 The bright orange matches the Mediterranean cityscape, and it was cute just to hold it! 🤍 The shop also has pearl accessories, a specialty of Ago Bay, which are perfect as souvenirs💍 I enjoyed it very much even as a day trip, but...! There is also a zone reserved for overnight guests, so it might be a good idea to stay the night and experience the extraordinary feeling of a resort floating on the sea⭐️ #100TravelStyles #MiePrefecture #IseShima #ShimaMediterraneanVillage #0YenTravelAutumn

Ise-Shima National Park Yokoyama Observatory Several observation spots follow The unobstructed view is worth a look.ᐟ.ᐟ Takeout style cafe Yokoyama Sky Cafe Terrace Mirador Shima This time I had Ise-Shima Cider (400 yen) and fruit soda (500 yen) The cider I drank while looking at the spectacular view from the observation space on the second floor was absolutely delicious!

Ise-Shima is famous for Ise Shrine and Spain Village, but if you go a little further, you'll find "Kashikojima" (Kashikojima Island) to be just amazing! Kashikojima Island is the largest inhabited island in Japan's Mediterranean "Ago Bay". It's easily accessible by train, and the tourist train "Shimakaze" also stops there 🚃 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📍Kashikojima Port There are boats touring Ago Bay! Open: 9:00 - 15:00 Irregularly operated Adults 1,400 yen / Children 700 yen Time required 50 minutes 📍Matsui Pearl Shop A long-established pearl shop that stocks high-quality pearl jewelry ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The area around Kashikojima Station is really emotional...! I highly recommend this spot as you can take some great photos that are unique to a port town. ◎ It was a hidden gem that you should visit in conjunction with a visit to Ise Shrine. 🚢✨ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ #Sakura2024 #IseShima #GraduationTrip

This time we will introduce you to Goza Shirahama in Mie. It is located in a very remote area of ​​Ise-Shima, so it is probably a place where only locals go. However, the transparency of the water was outstanding. We went in the evening, so the beach was almost completely private. We were able to take lots of photos and were very satisfied. The sunset was also incredibly beautiful. The only way to get to this beach was through winding rural roads. But it was fun to drive while listening to Ghibli music. I also enjoyed it 🚗✨✨☀️ I stayed about 30 minutes from here, so I recommend staying nearby so you can go and play on the way there 🤗 When the season starts, it may be crowded in the morning and afternoon 💦 There are also many parking lots nearby, but they are all paid and the price is a bit high, 1500 yen on average for a day, so be careful ⚠️ Each parking lot has a coin shower 🚿, so you can use the shower there! However, the price varies depending on the parking lot, and some do not have parking, so please take a good look before deciding. 🫣 《Save》 it and use it to plan your trip❤️ 📝﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Spot details 📍 Goza Shirahama 🏷️ Goza, Shima-cho, Mie Prefecture 🕐 24 hours ⚠ Lifeguards are on duty from 4pm to 5pm 💰 Free 🚗 Available Many paid parking lots near the beach.
