Visitors to Mie can also enjoy delicious seafood, such as Matsusaka beef and Ise ebi (spiny lobster).
When to visit
The best time to visit Mie is during the spring months of March to May when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, or in the fall from September to November when the weather is mild and the autumn foliage is at its peak. Summers in Mie can be hot and humid, while winters can be cold with occasional snowfall.
Getting around

Traveller tips
When visiting Mie, be sure to carry cash as many smaller establishments may not accept credit cards. It's also a good idea to learn a few basic Japanese phrases to help with communication, as English may not be widely spoken. Don't forget to try the local delicacies, such as tekonezushi (vinegar-marinated sushi) and akafuku (sweet mochi). Be respectful of local customs and traditions, especially when visiting shrines and temples. Lastly, make sure to pack comfortable shoes for exploring the natural beauty of Mie.
