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.
