Please enjoy a slow drive on Mt. Asakuma while being surrounded by a lot of excitement. At the observation platform on the top of Mt. Asakuma, there the footbath “Tenbo Ashiyu” where you can enjoy the vista slowly and comfortably. Also there is “Tenku no Post (the retro postbox called Japan Type 1 Cylindrical Postbox)” designated as the holy place for lovers. Besides, Kongo Shoji temple is located near the driveway. It is a famous temple said to protect demon’s gate(the northeastern direction) of Ise JIngu shrine. Traditionally, pilgrims always paid visits to this temple on their way to Ise Jingu shrine. Because, it is sung in the folk song of Ise Ondo, “If you visit Ise, should stop at Asakuma. If you don’t stop at Asakuma and visit Ise, that is not enough”.
