This trip to Ise Jingu Shrine, Mikimoto Pearl Island and Couple Rock was a very good overall experience. The trip was arranged quite smoothly and the attractions were worth a visit, especially the tour guide was excellent and very responsible. The guide kept explaining a lot of information about the local history, culture and background along the way. After arriving at the attraction, the tour guide does not just explain the meeting time and leave, but will continue to explain with us, so that we better understand the characteristics of the attraction. During our stay at Mikimoto Pearl Island, the tour guide also kept introducing and explaining to us within the attraction, which felt very attentive. In addition, the tour guide will also take the initiative to help us take pictures, the service is very courteous. This time the guide also had the flexibility to shift the time of other trips, arranging more time at Ise Jingu Shrine, which gave us more time to cruise around Ise Jingu Shrine, which was very good. Feeling Nagoya to Ise Jingu Shrine is well worth a visit, and can even be said to be one of the must-see attractions. However, if you can arrange a little more time for Ise Jingu it is more ideal, 2 hours is not enough to play. It is recommended to add an additional 1-2 hours. Because after visiting the shrine, you still need to reserve time for lunch in the shopping street. After walking around the shrine and then having lunch at the shopping street this time, I basically didn’t have much time to slowly stroll and shop, which felt a little unfortunate. If you want to have more time to shop, eat or slowly stroll through the shopping streets, it is recommended that you consider not visiting the Ise Jingu Shrine, directly leaving more time to walk around the main street, it will be more relaxed. Overall, the atmosphere of this trip was very good, and the guide was professional, humorous and attentive, which added a lot to the whole trip. Highly recommend this trip.
