Famous for the "Meoto Iwa" (Married Couple Rocks) standing in the sea. Since ancient times, there has been a custom to purify the mind and body in the seawater here before visiting Ise Jingu. Many frog statues, considered messengers of the god, line the approach along the sea, and the scenery is especially mystical during sunrise or a full moon. It is a photogenic spot where you can enjoy Japanese spiritual culture and the beautiful coastline simultaneously.
