Ise Province Claimant (ronsha)

Tsubaki Nakato Jinja

都波岐・奈加等神社

Tsubaki Nakato Jinja is one of the shrines claimed as the ichinomiya — the leading shrine — of the former Ise Province, in present-day Mie. We could not confirm whether it has a car park. Without a car, a local tourism body gives 1 route from a station (on foot), one of them a walk of 25 min; the station names are listed below. The nearest other ichinomiya is Tsubaki Okamiyashiro, 15 km to the north-west in a straight line.

Nearest ichinomiya

The closest is Tsubaki Okamiyashiro, about 15 km to the north-west in a straight line, in the same province. After that come Aekuni Jinja (42 km west) and Omiwa Jinja (Owari) (47 km north).

Straight-line distances between the shrines, not road distances. Across mountains or water, the drive is much longer.
