Daiosaki Lighthouse - MieXplorer
Daiozaki lighthouse
Geoff here with another MieXplorer video.
Today we are in Mie’s Shima city, checking out the Daiosaki Lighthouse.
Now there was a saying here “Ship owners are not to find their navigators guilty for shipwrecking in the Daio Sea.”
This is because the surrounding waters are very dangerous, and the people here for longest time had been requesting a lighthouse, but were never approved.
But in 1917 the pride of Japan’s navy, the Otowa ran aground here, and the government finally recognize the need for a lighthouse.
Unfortunately, due to the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923 and the subsequent recovery, it wasn’t until 1927 that it was finished.
But for 88 years the lighthouse has survived crashing waves, typhoons, and even machine gun fire during World War 2.
Most lighthouses from this time period were squared-shaped but the Daiosaki lighthouse is cylindrical with a fan shaped two story annex which is considered a unique and innovative design.
Being a nicely designed building, it has become very popular among painters.
In fact the entire town is know as a “Painter’s town”
The France like narrow winding roads attract many painters hoping to capture the town’s charm.
As you can imagine, the main industry of Diaosaki is fishing.
You can often see fisherman and women divers working year round pulling up a delicious seafood catch.
And The fish sold here is as fresh as you can get because it is directly from the source.
Wandering through the streets, you will come across several small shops selling crafts and jewellery made from oysters and pearls.
And If you want to try amazingly fresh sushi at a great price, make sure to stop by the local sushi restaurant.
As with all places in Japan, there is interesting folklore associated with Daiosaki.
If you visit the Nakiri shrine, you can read about a giant cyclops being scared away by a large sandal, created by the townsfolk.
Or see kujira ishi, or whale stones, which were found in several whale bellies and brought to the shrine.
It is amazing how much this small town has to offer.

Daiouzaki lighthouse in Ise-Shima National Park, Shima city of Mie pref. - Japan Trip

Daiouzaki lighthouse in Ise-Shima National Park of Mie prefecture
- Solitary Guard for Seafaring Men -
---------
Daiouzaki lighthouse is located in Ise-Shima National Park of Mie prefecture, Japan.
The view of the pacific ocean from the lighthouse is really wonderful.
There is nothing but the sea and the lighthouse here, nonetheless many people come to this place every year. It's really refreshing to take a short walk along the seacoast around the lighthouse.
The lighthouse is not very access-friendly but I'd like to recommand this place if you came to Shima city of Mie prefecture and had much time there.
Thank you.

Meoto Iwa - MieXplorer
Geoff here and today on MieXplorer we are checking out Meoto Iwa.
Along the coast, east of Ise, there are some rocks with a special connection to the Ise Grand Shrine.
They are call Meoto Iwa, or “The Married Rocks”.
These two rocks represent the founding gods of the Shito religion and who are the parents of the Ise Grand Shrine’s deity, Amaterasu.
The husband rock is 9m tall and is called Izanagi
While the wife rock is a smaller 3.6m tall and is called Izanami.
The rope connecting the two is a traditional shinto rope called a Shimenawa, which is made of rice stalks and weighs nearly a ton
Three times a year, the rope is replaced during a special ceremony, which has been taking place since at least the 14th century.
The name Meoto Iwa, actually only dates back to the Meiji era.
Before that it was known as Takeishizaki.
The shrine next to the rocks is called Okitama-Jinja.
It was established next to married rocks over 1300 years ago, combining two smaller shrines.
While today the shrine’s main focus is Meoto Iwa and marriage,
This site started as a location to begin a purification journey to the Ise Grand Shrine.
Part of that tradition are the many frog sculptures around the shrine.
The frog is an important symbol as it is believed to be a familiar of the shinto god Sarutahiko no okami.
And in Japanese, frog is pronounced as “kaeru” which also means “to return”
So each frog statue is play on words, wishing for a loved one’s safe return home.
Now Makes sure to check out the areas around Meoto Iwa.
There delicious restaurants that serve tekonezushi and Ise udon authentic Ise pearl vendors and gift shops where you can get your own frog statue.
The recommended times to visit are in May and June, when you can get a glimpse of the sun rising from behind Mount Fuji situated between the Meoto Iwa.
