Built on the site of the residence of the Sengoku Daimyo Kitabatake clan, this is one of the representative warrior gardens of the Middle Ages. Designated as a National Scenic Spot and Historic Site, the powerful rock formations and mossy, tranquil space invite visitors into a world of several hundred years ago. Especially during the autumn foliage season, the historic garden is dyed in reds and yellows, offering a quiet beauty that is breathtaking. This is a famous garden where you can feel the spirit of Japan's "Wabi-Sabi," setting it apart from flashy tourist spots.

Kushida River

The "Kushida River" flowing through central Mie Prefecture creates beautiful valley beauty called "Kahada-kyo" due to its purity. In the upper reaches, you can enjoy dynamic landscapes woven by deep emerald green pools and massive rocks, and activities such as canoeing and river trekking are popular. Villages retaining the atmosphere of old highways are scattered along the basin, and enjoying a drive or cycling while listening to the murmuring of the river is exceptional. It is a beautiful natural corridor where healing and power coexist, created by Japan's rich water resources.
