Shima Marineland is a fantastic place to visit, especially for kids who can learn more about marine life through physical touch. The main attraction of the aquarium is the sunfish, which are giant and weigh a few tons. Even though their large size seems intimidating, the sunfish is actually the most carefree and harmless creature. The fish tank contains 2,500 animals, including various species of sharks and yellowtail fish and there is also a feeding demonstration done by an Ama (literally “sea woman”) diver.
A popular attraction at Shima Marineland is the adorable penguins and visitors can also learn more about the sea and its different lifeforms by visiting the ancient aquarium, where fossils are displayed. There are also rare Japanese freshwater fish that live in the aquarium, including sea creatures with amusing names such as kissing loach and stumpy bullhead!

志摩海洋世界水族馆是一个非常适合游览的地方，尤其是对于孩子们来说，他们可以通过身体接触了解更多的海洋生物。水族馆最吸引人的是重达几吨的巨型太阳鱼。尽管它们的巨大体型看似吓人，但实际上太阳鱼是最无忧无虑、最无害的生物。鱼缸里有 2,500 种动物，包括各种鲨鱼和黄尾鱼，还有阿玛（字面意思为 "海女"）潜水员的喂食演示。
志摩海洋世界水族馆的一大亮点是可爱的企鹅，游客还可以通过参观展示化石的古代水族馆，了解更多有关海洋和海洋生物的知识。水族馆里还饲养着稀有的日本淡水鱼，包括名字很有趣的海洋生物，如接吻泥鳅和矮牛头！

Shima Marineland  Guide | Mie

Shima Marineland 

Approximately 36% of Mie Prefecture’s land has been designated Natural Parks, and are protected by the government. Ise-Shima National Park is one of the most popular, housing the Ise Jingu Shrine, located on the coast facing the Pacific Ocean. The rugged coast and little islands dotting the horizon make it a beautiful sight come sunset. The Ise Jingu Shrine (Ise Grand Shrine) is one of the most famous attractions of Mie, dedicated to the goddess Amaterasu, built in the 3rd century. Many consider it Japan’s most sacred shrine.

One of the most unique of Mie Prefecture’s festivals is the ancient Tado Ageuma “Horse Jumping Festival,” which has over 1,000 years of history and started as a method of predicting the result of the upcoming harvest. The Ishidori Matsuri is another festival which was declared an Intangible Culture of Mie Prefecture, and some say it is Japan’s loudest festival. Mie also hosts a Ninja Fest every year and is home to the Ninja Museum of Igaryu, located by the Iga Ueno Castle. 

As Mie Prefecture is located alongside two seas, their fishing industry has access to a variety of species of fish, making it a paradise for sushi and sashimi lovers. In particular, Tsu, the capital city of Mie prefecture once had the highest consumption of grilled eel in Japan, which is regarded as a summertime delicacy in Japan. Aside from the abundance of seafood, Mie prefecture is also renowned for its Matsusaka wagyu beef, which has less brand name recognition than the famous Kobe beef but is arguably even more highly regarded (not to mention more expensive). As for produce, they are known for their mikan, grapes, strawberries, and pears.

三重县约有 36% 的土地被指定为自然公园，受到政府的保护。伊势志摩国立公园是最受欢迎的公园之一，园内有伊势神宫，位于面向太平洋的海岸边。日落时分，崎岖的海岸和点缀在地平线上的小岛构成了一道美丽的风景线。伊势神宫（伊势大神宫）是三重最著名的景点之一，供奉着建于 3 世纪的天照女神。许多人认为它是日本最神圣的神社。

三重县最独特的祭祀活动之一是古老的 Tado Ageuma "跳马节"，该祭祀活动已有 1000 多年的历史，最初是为了预测即将到来的丰收结果。石取祭是三重县无形文化的另一个祭典，有人说它是日本最响亮的祭典。此外，三重县每年还举办忍者节，伊贺上野城旁的伊贺流忍者博物馆也坐落于此。 

三重县濒临两海，渔业资源丰富，是寿司和生鱼片爱好者的天堂。特别是三重县的首府津市曾是日本烤鳗消费量最高的城市，烤鳗被视为日本的夏日美食。除了丰富的海鲜之外，三重县的松阪和牛也很有名，这种牛肉的品牌知名度不如著名的神户牛肉，但可以说更受推崇（更不用说更贵了）。在农产品方面，三重县以盛产米柑、葡萄、草莓和梨而闻名。

浏览三重县的烹饪课程、品尝会、餐饮体验和美食之旅，这里有日本最昂贵的牛肉和多个令人惊叹的自然公园。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration.

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.

Located inside the Shima Kanko Hotel The Bay Suites is this French restaurant that’s been awarded a Michelin star for 2020. It’s not just any French restaurant — La Mer the Classic specializes in French cuisine using seafood catches in Japan. Mie Prefecture is abundant with seafood due to its location facing the wide sea. This type of cuisine was created because of the ancient court’s pride in being a “food country” and hence the people celebrated all sorts of regional seafood.

People near and far, local and international guests alike, travel all the way here for a taste of this unique type of cuisine. Nowhere else in the country will you be served abalone steak as well as ise prawn cream soup — these are the most prominent dishes of La Mer the Classic. The combination of local fish and seafood catches with French traditional culinary techniques creates a special type of cuisine that is especially unique at La Mer the Classic.

The title of “Miketsukuni” was used to refer historically to the three provinces of Japan so revered for the freshness of their produce and seafood that they were designated the primary suppliers of the Imperial palace. 

In the modern day, only six cities have been afforded the privilege of inheriting this title, one of which is Ise City. Japanese Restaurant Hamayu, located in luxury Kashikojima resort Shima Kanko Hotel The Bay Suites, proves precisely why Ise has earned that right.

The operation, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, is heralded among the top 5000 restaurants in the nation by leading review sites. Hamayu is headed by Chef Hiroshi Tsukahara, who first joined Miyako Hotels in their Hakata branch more than 35 years ago. Since then, he has become one of Mie’s foremost specialists in the Ise-Shima regional cuisine, making use of the bounty of Ise-Shima ingredients and time-honored techniques to craft elaborate course menus that have since become the restaurant’s hallmark. 

The content of these menus vary significantly throughout the year, each highlighting the appropriate flavors, dishes and ingredients of the season. The a la carte menu and regional Mie sake selection further enrich diners’ experiences.

Delicate, elegant, and high-quality dishes filled with Ise-Shima’s finest seasonal ingredients put on a show at Hamayu, located in one of Mie Prefecture’s most luxurious hotels.

Seasonal course menus in the Shima Kanko Hotel luxury resort, crafted by a chef with over 35 years of hotel restaurant experience and a unique affinity for the traditional cuisine of the Ise-Shima region.
