Enjoy the sea, mountains, and gourmet food! Lots of walking experiences in osatsu-cho, TobaCity!!
掲載日：2021.03.17
osatsu cho TobaCity, ``the town with the most ama divers in Japan,'' is a popular tourist destination for its rich fishing village culture and beautiful scenery overlooking the ocean. Recently, we have been proposing Nordic walking around town, which can improve your health.
Therefore, we will introduce hiking and walking courses full of nature where you can enjoy the mountains and the sea at your own pace, as well as recommended spots that you should definitely visit.
Aomine Shofukuji Temple is an ancient temple located on Mt. Aomine at an altitude of 336 meters, and is said to have been built by Gyoki during the Tenpo era (729-748).
Its principal image is the Eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva from osatsu Town legend of ``Kannon who came riding on a whale,'' and it is worshiped by fishermen and divers from all over the Shima region who wish for safety at sea.
TobaCity, osatsu City is a place I've always wanted to visit, so I started with enthusiasm! You will be guided by an old stone monument that says ``Right Aomine Michi.''
"Nordic walking", which is currently being proposed in osatsu Town, is a full-body exercise that uses poles like ski poles to exercise not only the lower body but also the arms and upper body at the same time.
It is a full-body exercise that is attracting attention because it uses 90% of the muscles in the whole body, burning 40% more calories than regular walking.
I enjoyed hiking about 4km one way, which left me feeling refreshed and sweaty.
The highlight is the elaborate openwork carvings of phoenixes and dragons. The fact that the rocky lobster is hidden inside the sculpture is unique to the guardian deity of the sea in Ise-Shima.

Chidorigahama Beach is a beautiful sandy beach, so be sure to walk along the water's edge. Surrounded by the scent of the ocean and the sound of rippling waves, it is truly a relaxing moment.
Legend has it that this cape is where Kannon from Shofukuji Temple on Mt. Aomine appeared riding a whale. There is a promenade, and you can see ``Tateishi-san'' and ``Berai-san (Benzaiten)'', which are worshiped by fishermen, and a tunnel of ubamegashi, which is used as the material for Binchotan charcoal.
Let's have a seafood lunch (3,500 yen per person) where you can enjoy chatting with active ama divers.
"The oldest diver in osatsu is 86 years old, so we're still mid-level."
While laughing, we had a lively chat with the ama divers who were grilling shellfish over charcoal.
The Ama divers' stories are full of interesting stories, such as seaweed fishing in spring, cutting hijiki, and diving into the sea to catch turban shells and abalone. While we were enjoying the conversation, the shellfish was grilled!
The nourishment of the sea soaks into my tired body from walking...
After enjoying the fun talk and delicious food, we resumed walking and headed for the day's goal, Shinmei Shrine.
