What is Suzuka Quasi-National Park and Ise-Shima National Park?

The Suzuka Mountains, which rise in the western part of Suzuka Quasi-National Park, are geologically different, with the northern part being a karst topography formed by erosion of limestone, and the southeastern part being granite, so you can enjoy a variety of activities in addition to the varied landscape.
The mountains called the Suzuka Seven Mountains within the mountain range are popular spots for trekking and climbing, and in winter, the area transforms into a silver world due to the abundant snowfall. Furthermore, the mountains give rise to many mountain streams, and there are many campgrounds located along these streams.

Ise-Shima National Park is one of Japan's leading marine national parks, with a distinctive ria coastline. The complex coastline, dotted with small coves and headlands, is not only a fishing ground for abundant seafood. The calm waves make it ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and other sea activities.

It's also great to have fun learning about how local people have lived in the midst of nature, such as the ama culture and pearl farming.

① GozaishoRopeway a 12-minute aerial walk where you can enjoy spectacular views of the four seasons!


This round trip plan starts from Suzuka Quasi-National Park!

There are seven mountains in this area called the "Suzuka Seven Mountains" (Mt. Fujiwara, Mt. Ryugadake, Mt. Shakagadake, Mt.Gozaisho, Mt. Amagodake, Mt. Kamagadake, and Nyudogatake in the Suzuka Mountains). It is attractive that you can enjoy the rich mountain scenery.

This time, we would like to enjoy Mt.Gozaisho, a famous peak that is said to be one of the ``Famous Mountains of 100 Flowers'' and has been selected as one of Japan's 200 Famous Mountains!

The biggest feature of Mt.Gozaisho is that it has GozaishoRopeway!

Even if you don't want to spend hours climbing a mountain, you can reach the top of the mountain in just 12 minutes! You can easily enjoy spectacular views that cannot be seen from the foot of the mountain.


*There is also a direct bus from Nagoya Station, which will take you to the top of the mountain in an hour and a half.

The view from the gondola is beautiful, but the view from the top of the mountain is even more special!

Gozaisho Sanjo Park has a total of 5 observation decks and observatories, including ``Fujimi-iwa Observation Deck'' where you can see Mt. Fuji and ``Bokodai'' where you can see Lake Biwa. You might be able to meet a certain "Japanese serow"! ?

It seems that new ideas will be born in a place far away from everyday life, such as encountering beautiful scenery and precious flora and fauna in the midst of nature as it is.

②The spectacular view from the mountaintop will inspire you and create new ideas♪

``Observation Restaurant Nature'' is located at Gozaisho Sanjo-koen Station and is ``the highest restaurant in Mie Prefecture.''

The glass-walled store offers a spectacular view, and it's a great location where you can not only see the Suzuka mountains up close, but also Ise Bay, the city at the foot of the mountain, and even Nagoya in the distance.

If you are inspired by this kind of scenery, it will likely lead to new discoveries and inspiration.




Also, the Alpen Hall at the top of the mountain can be used as a work space depending on the store's business status, so if you want to work hard, you can talk to the store staff about it. maybe.

③ Italian lunch at the popular Aquaignis ♪ “Il Ceciano Miele”

Even after fully enjoying the charm of Mt.Gozaisho, thanks to the ropeway, it was still before noon!

There's still time, so let's enjoy food and healing at the popular spot "Aquaignis" in KomonoTown ♪

Let's start with food.

Chef Masayuki Okuda's restaurant [il-ché-cciano mie-le], which was selected as one of the top 1,000 chefs in the world, is a casual restaurant that mainly serves pizza and pasta.

However, even though it is a casual restaurant, the chef's cooking philosophy/theory remains the same.

The food is prepared using ingredients purchased that day, such as pigs raised in KomonoTown, seafood from Mie Prefecture, and local vegetables, and brought to us beautifully on the plate.

This kind of professional way of thinking applies to any job. It was an opportunity for me to reevaluate my attitude toward work.

Next is "healing".

Kataoka Onsen is a popular hot spring that uses 100% natural hot spring water pumped from 1,200 meters underground without adding water, heating, or circulation.The spring quality is simple alkaline hot spring, which removes unnecessary dead skin cells and leaves your skin smooth and smooth. A beauty bath that will take care of you.

The hot water was moderately thick and soft, and had a faint sulfur scent, just like a hot spring.The bamboo forest that spread out in front of me gave me an unusually soothing feeling.


④For some exercise after meals, try horseback riding at Yunoyama Horse Riding Club!


After enjoying plenty of food and relaxation, try horseback riding as a way to work up your appetite!

Yunoyama Horse Riding Club is a horse riding club surrounded by nature at the foot of Mt.Gozaisho.
We have one of the largest indoor horse racing fields in the Chubu area, so you can enjoy it safely even on bad weather♪

If the weather is nice, it would be nice to try riding outside!

Of course, you can see the beautiful natural scenery of Suzuka depending on the season, but seeing the scenery from a slightly higher perspective while swaying on the back of a horse is sure to be a memory you'll never forget.

⑤Enjoy exquisite seafood at Toba's ryokan "Kaigetsu" ♪ The view from the window will make your workday even better!


It takes about an hour and a half by car from KomonoTown to our next destination, TobaCity.

A complete change from the mountain scenery we had seen earlier, we arrived at a seaside town where the sea breeze was drifting!

In Toba, we will be staying at the ryokan "Kaigetsu" today. You will be greeted with an abundance of seasonal seafood freshly caught in Ise-Shima, such as ``Ise lobster'', ``Abalone'', ``Toro Sawara'', and ``Oysters''.

After getting plenty of energy from the delicious seafood, it's time to concentrate on work!

The rustic yet warm rooms offer a spectacular view of Ise Bay, which may refresh you when you're stuck for ideas.

We also recommend listening to the sound of waves while feeling the sea breeze on the quiet sea at night. It's only a short walk away, so you can experience the working experience of a port town!

On the second day, we took a walk through the streets of Toba in the morning!

Just a 1-minute walk from Kaigetsu, you can see the seascape typical of Ise-Shima.

There are also other famous places within walking distance, such as MikimotoPearlIsland, the birthplace of pearl farming, the ruins of Toba Castle, which was the headquarters of the Kuki Navy, and the TobaAquarium, which I will introduce later. Masu.

In addition, TobaCity is also well-developed for workspaces, such as the workspace "Kubokuri" and "TOBA Free Wi-Fi", which are introduced in another workday article, so it is also suitable for long-term stays. It's perfect ♪



If you want to get your body moving in the morning, we recommend a sea kayak tour to three uninhabited islands in Toba Bay!

Toba Bay has calm waves, so it's safe even for beginners! If the timing is right, you can even see the ama divers fishing up close.


⑥Number of breeds is the highest in Japan! Interact with your sea friends at TobaAquarium.

As I mentioned earlier, if you come to TobaCity, you can't miss this place!

TobaAquarium is the aquarium with the largest number of species in Japan!

In addition to dugongs, which can only be seen here in Japan, sea otters, of which only a few are kept in captivity, cute sea creatures such as elegantly swimming finless porpoises and cute petite otters will soothe your soul.

The museum is divided into 12 zones according to the types of creatures and the environment they live in, and one of these zones includes a corner called ``Ise-Shima Sea.'' It's also great to be able to experience the marine ecosystem of this area!



For lunch, we recommend the restaurant “Bayside” inside TobaAquarium!

The counter is a special seat with a panoramic view of Toba Bay, so you can check your email or make a quick phone call while enjoying the view.

Dolphin, sea otter, and walrus shows are held several times a day, so you can see a variety of shows!

Please come and see the wonderful sea creatures♪


⑦ Relax in the footbath while enjoying the view of Ise Bay at the Mt.Asama Observation Deck.

It takes about 30 minutes by car from TobaAquarium to our final destination, IseJingu, but we still have some time, so why not take a detour through the popular drive course "Ise-Shima Skyline"?

Mt.Asama Observation Deck is located on Mt.Asama, the highest peak in Ise-Shima National Park, at an altitude of 555 meters.

While soaking in the footbath, it is a great viewing spot where you can see not only TobaCity but also the various large and small islands floating in Ise Bay. On a clear day, you can enjoy the spectacular view of the blue sky and ocean!

You can also walk to the top of the mountain, so it's perfect for hiking!

At the top of the mountain, the `` The Post in the sky'', which has been selected as a ``lover's sacred place'', is waiting for you.

You can actually send letters, so it would be nice to mail a letter from your travel destination!

⑧Finally, let's express our gratitude at IseJingu. I'll do my best at work starting tomorrow!


To conclude your trip, visit IseJingu, the spiritual hometown of the Japanese people.

Visiting the shrine in the evening just before the gate closes is called ``Yu-mazume''.

Experience the charm of IseJingu, which is a little different from the bustle of the daytime!

Let's convey our daily gratitude while remembering the feeling of being cleansed by the clear air of the vast forest.


"Let's do our best again tomorrow!" It was the end of a wonderful trip that made us feel that way.
