Shinto
An introduction to Shinto, one of Japan's earliest belief systems.
The Heart of Japan 「The 62nd. Jingu Shikinen Sengu at Ise Jingu」Photo Exhibition
This is a photo exhibition held at the Mie Museum (MieMu) in May, 2014.
Shikinen Sengu of the Ise Shrine has been repeated every 20 years from about 1,300 years ago. All of the shrines including the main hall are rebuilt, using the same techniques from ancient times. Ceremonial attires and treasures are newly made and the shintai (Amaterasu Omikami, the Sun Goddess) transferred into the new shrine. Through this shrine's Shikinen Sengu, the exhibition focused on the Heart of Japan that cherishes the continuation of tradition and culture while living in harmony with nature. 80 pieces showing various scenes surrounding the Shikinen Sengu were shot over the course of 6 years by well known photographer Sanjiro Minamikawa from Mie. Each scene is tenderly and fully expressed, printed on Ise Japanese paper (Washi), a traditional craft of Mie. Hung from the ceiling, the photographs create a serene setting of being surrounded by a floating exhibition.

TRAVEL JAPAN VLOG | Toba City & Mikimoto Pearl Island 鳥羽市 #6
Japan has always been one of my favorite countries to travel to whether for vacation or adventures. Well, mostly vacations. Since I have a huge fan of the Japanese delicacies and hot springs, Japan became a no brainer when it came to this long weekend in the autumn weather. Nagoya jumped to my parents as the obvious choice due to its distance from the tourists in both Tokyo and Kyoto. We prefer to spend the vacation where there are fewer crowds and trying to steal a piece of peaceful quietness from the local Japanese towns.
We travelled from the nearby towns from Yoro to Toba so to avoid the tourist groups in downtown Nagoya. Yoro was remote and beautiful with its view from above the mountain, while Toba was close to the ocean with its fame from pearl harvesting. Want to know more? Well stay tuned!

Mikimoto Pearl Island （御木本真珠島）, Toba City, Mie Prefecture, Japan
Mikimoto Pearl Island （御木本真珠島）, known as The Home of the Cultured Pearls is located south of Nagoya City, in Toba, Mie Prefecture, Japan.
Mikimoto Pearl Island is the home of the Mikimoto pearl. Pearls were cultured successfully for the first time in history in 1893 using a method developed by Kokichi Mikimoto.
The surroundings of the Island have a Kokichi Mikimoto Memorial Hall, Pearl Plaza (shop), a demonstration of how the women divers were used many years ago to dive for pearls and a GREAT pearl museum. All these are surrounded by a beautiful Ise Shima Bay.
In my opinion the Pearl Museum is the best, it explains how cultured pearls are made and how the natural pearls are made. They also have a some great collections of pearls from all over the pearl producing nations. The video inside the museum is not great but I highly recommend all of you to visit the museum and take it all in.
The Pearl Plaza has some REALLY expensive jewellery made with pearls but it also has some great inexpensive items (not jewellery but small boxes, toys etc.) made with pearls.
Hope you get a chance to visit Toba City and the Mikimoto Pearl Island in your travels in Japan. Enjoy!!!!

Tokugawa Art Museum
During the Edo Period (1600-1868), Nagoya served as the seat of the Owari, one of the three major branches of the ruling Tokugawa family. Regarding the great wealth the family amassed, there were only four feudal domains that surpassed out of 200 of the Edo Period. The Tokugawa Art Museum was built on the grounds of the Owari's former feudal residence and preserves and displays several of their treasures including swords and samurai armor and tea utensils, noh masks and costumes, poems, scrolls and maps.
There is a beautiful Japanese landscape garden called Tokugawa-en next to the museum, that has a large pond at its center. The garden used to be part of a retirement residence of the local lords, but was ruined during the war. In 2001 the garden was rebuilt and reopened to the public in 2004. A large network of walking trails lead around the grounds to a tea house, rest houses, and across several bridges. The best season to visit the garden is during spring, when its Peony (mid to late April) and Iris gardens (late May to early June) bloom, and during the autumn season (November).
Access information
The museum is a ten minute walk from Ozone Station on the JR Chuo, Meijo Subway, and the Meitetsu Seto Line. JR Chuo Line is frequently operated to directly connect between Ozone Station and Nagoya Station (12 minutes, 200 yen one way).
In addition, to get to the museum, the Meguru loop bus line for tourists can be used, and from Nagoya Station it takes about 40 minutes or from Nagoya Castle it takes about 15 minutes. The fare is 200 yen per ride or 500 yen for a day pass.
Hours: 10:00 to 17:00 (entry ends at 16:30)
Closed: Mondays (or following day if Monday is a national holiday)
Mid December to early January
Admission: 1200 yen for museum only, 1350 yen for museum and garden
English: Good

Kasuga-taisha - Nara - 春日大社 - 4K Ultra HD
Established in 768 and rebuilt several times over the centuries, Kasuga-taisha is the shrine of the Fujiwara Family and famous for its many bronze and stone lanterns.
Alongside the Kasugayama Primeval Forest near it, the Kasuga-taisha is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara.
The shrine became the object of imperial patronage during the early Heian period. In 965, Emperor Murakami ordered imperial messengers to be sent out to report on the important events related to the guardian kami of Japan. These Heihaku were initially presented to 16 shrines including the Kasuga Shrine.
From 1871 through 1946, Kasuga Shrine was officially designated as one of the Kanpei-taisha, or one of the few first ranked of government supported shrines.

[ J Trip Plan ] Mystical Spots around Japan & Delicacies of Ise Shima
Japanese call a place believed to have a special energy that refreshes a power spot. We look at viewer photos of places where they felt such energy, and discuss Ise Jingu and other locations linked with mythology. Our reporters savor the seafood delicacies of Ise-Shima, Japan's first tourist destination, and explore the cities of Ise, Toba and Shima. No trip is complete without souvenirs. We look at toys made from local timber and carved netsuke ornaments regarded as miniature works of art.
