Let's explore Futami with Mairin-kun! Futami Town Stamp Rally
table of contents
Futamiura flourished as a place for worshippers to purify themselves before going to Ise Shrine, and also as a place for pilgrims to stay.
The Meotoiwa Omotesando approach to Futami-Okitama Shrine, which runs from JR Futaminoura Station, is lined with three-story wooden Japanese-style inns, a rare sight these days.
This area, including the Meoto Iwa Rocks, has long been a popular place for purification rituals before visiting Ise Shrine, and is rich in history, culture, and a nostalgic atmosphere.
We want you to rediscover the charm of Futami while walking around the area. With this in mind, we are holding the Futami Town Walking Stamp Rally.
To participate, you will need a stamp rally card, which is available at the Futaminoura Tourist Information Center.
Once you take a step forward with the mount in hand, you can start your unique walk around Futami!
The mount is a map, so you can look at it while you're touring.
Stamps are available at five locations that you can stop by while touring Futami Town.
The stamps feature the official Ise City Tourism Association character, Ise Mairin-kun, and his friends, and collecting them is one of the attractions!
[Stamp installation locations]
・JR Futaminoura Station

Starting from the station, enjoy the unique scenery of Futami, from the Meoto Iwa Omote Sando (front approach to the Meoto Iwa rocks), to the historic shrine, and the beloved Ise Sea Paradise (Ise Meoto Iwa Meoto Yokocho).
Those who collect all five stamps will receive a limited edition Futami Town Walk Stamp Rally item, the Meotoiwa Original Keychain! (Only available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last)
We will also be giving away cute frog stickers to children (while supplies last).

A. Yes, you can participate in the stamp rally as many times as you like.
However, please note that each person can only receive the commemorative gift once throughout the day.
Q2. If a group representative submits all the stamped sheets together, will we receive a commemorative gift for each person?

Q3. Will the souvenirs ever go missing?

Futami is very cold in February, so please dress warmly. This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy a leisurely stroll, as well as for families, friends, and couples.
