It is customary to remove your shoes when entering homes and some restaurants. Look for a shoe rack or designated area to leave your footwear.

Try 'sakura-mochi' in springtime

This traditional sweet is made with sweet pink rice and wrapped in a cherry blossom leaf. It is a seasonal treat that reflects Japan's appreciation for the fleeting beauty of nature.

Visit Tsu Castle for a panoramic view of the city
