Top Mie Prefecture Wine, Beer & Spirits

Discover the off-the-radar nightlife of Mie Prefecture with a local guide who takes you to two handpicked izakayas in areas such as Yokkaichi, Kuwana, Suzuka, or Tsu. Step into real neighborhood bars where the atmosphere is warm, the flavors bold, and the experience truly authentic. At each stop, enjoy ¥1,500 worth of food and drinks included (¥3,000 total), making it easy to relax and explore without worrying about ordering or costs. Expect local specialties—from grilled skewers to regional dishes—paired with sake, shochu, or cold draft beer. With counter seating and handwritten menus, these cozy spots are where locals unwind and conversations flow naturally. Your guide will help translate, recommend dishes, and share insights into the local culture and everyday life of the area. This is not a tourist bar crawl, but a genuine night out in places you would never find on your own.

This rural town cycling tour is an ideal getaway from the bustling shopping streets near Ise Jingu. Just a couple of stations away you can pedal your way through ancient historical sites, scenic beaches and traditional sake breweries. Local people from the small town Meiwa call leisure cycling "Saikuling", a pun based on the remains of the historical Saiku palace where Ise Jingu's Saio princess used to reside during the Heian period (794-1185). Many of the spots you will see on this tour are designated national historic site and Japan Heritage. However, even if you are not into archaeological sites and ancient legends, this cycling tour will reveal a charming countryside town with its scenic landscape and warm-hearted people. Just a 15-minute train ride away from Ise Jingu in Mie, there is a whole hidden world to explore. Along the way your guide will tell you interesting stories about the daily life of local people and will introduce locally grown farm products.
