Visit One of Japan's Three Great Kannon Temples with Historic Grounds

About this spot

An ancient Shingon Buddhism temple counted among "Japan's Three Great Kannon" along with Asakusa Kannon and Kisarazu Kannon, located in central Tsu City. Passing through the vermillion-painted gate, a quiet temple ground opens up, and the main hall enshrines a Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) long cherished by Tsu's people. The grounds hold many notable sites, including a five-story pagoda, creating an atmosphere of calm unexpected in the heart of the city. Located just steps from Tsu Castle Site, this spot offers a quintessential Tsu experience where castle towns and temples stand side by side. Worship is free and even small children can stroll comfortably.

津花火大会は、三重県津市の阿漕浦海岸から伊勢湾の夜空へ5,000発以上の花火を打ち上げる、地域を代表する夏の祭典です。海上から打ち上がる花火は遮るものがなく空に大きく開き、波の音とともに砂浜から見上げる迫力は格別です。穏やかな伊勢湾の波面に映り込む光の帯も、海辺の花火大会ならではの美しさ。地元の人々が待ち望む夏の風物詩として長く親しまれており、当日は浜辺が観覧客で埋め尽くされます。1日の最後に相応しい、圧巻のフィナーレをお楽しみください。

Tips

開催時間は大会公式情報で事前に確認してください(「時間未定」のため変更の可能性あり)。荒天時の中止・延期についても公式発表を当日チェックしましょう。終了後は周辺道路・最寄りバス停が非常に混雑するため、フィナーレ後は浜で少し余韻を楽しんでから帰路につくと混雑を緩和できます。足元が暗くなるのでスマホのライトを活用してください。
