This is "Okage Yokocyou"
There were many Japanese folk art object shops and Japanese restaurants.
It was very flourishing on that day.
Because the day was one of consecutive holidays and there were many tourists.
I bought a picture postcard for 100 yen for myself.

This is a Japanese restaurant "Tofu ya".
This restaurant is managed by "Okage Yokocyou".
I like tofu very well. So I decided to eat a lunch here when I found it by travel magazine.
The croquette of tofu which I ate here was very delicious.
This old private house style was very good for me.

This is a torii of Ise shrine (in).

This is a river which is flowing in Ise shrine (in).
How beautiful the water of this river was!
The fresh green was also very beautiful.

Also we sightsaw Ise shrine (out) and Ise Kawasaki merchant hall.
And finished the first day.

The scenery which seen from room of the hotel where we stayed.
We stayed "Toba sea side hotel".
The scenery where seen from it was beautiful and this hotel's open-air bath was very good.

The second day of travel.
We went to Mikimoto Pearl Island.
I was most looking forward to going there. Because I love Pearl.
This is the bronze statue of Koukichi Mikimoto.
He was successful in culture of pearl for the first time in the world.

This is a demonstration of catching shellfishes by women diver.
How wonderful they who dive into the sea energetically were!

This is the commemoration hall of Koukichi Mikimoto.
Also, There is tasteful Japanese garden.
I was able to feel fresh wind from sea here and very happy.

Also, There were the pearl plaza, the pearl museum and restaurant in the island.
We ate Ise noodles for lunch at this restaurant.

We left from Toba by ferry at 2:00pm.
It was earlier a little than expected time.
So we were able to arrive at home earlier than expected time.

We were able to enjoy to the full this travel.
