Our guide

Tsubaki Grand Shrine, in Yamamoto in the city of Suzuka, Mie, is one of two shrines that claim the title of ichinomiya of the former Ise Province. Its main festival is held every year on 11 October. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

We have not checked a public-transport route, so plan the journey on the map and look for local information before you go.
