MIEscape original tours

Tour background

Our Philosophy: Witnessing Culture,
Creating Connection

Our journeys transform sightseeing into a truly memorable encounter. MIEscape is operated by Ise-Shima Tourism, an organization born on this very soil. We are not simply guides, but we are members of the community, sharing our home with you. We create moments of genuine connection with our neighbors—the fishers, the artisans, and the legendary Ama divers. This is about building enduring relationships, rather than just a momentary experience.

Guardians of a Timeless Current: The Ama Divers of
Ise-Shima

In the waters of Ise-Shima, a living tradition has endured for 3,000 years. The Ama, female free divers who gather the ocean's bounty, are a national living treasure. Their sustainable fishing methods are guided by an ancient wisdom and a profound respect for the sea, ensuring its resources never deplete. MIEscape offers respectful opportunities to dive and converse with these remarkable women. Your journey becomes a vital link in preserving their incredible culture for future generations.

The Soul of Our Land: The Enduring Spirit of
"Tokowaka"

For over 1,300 years, the Ise Grand Shrine has embodied the philosophy of ""Tokowaka""—the belief that eternity is achieved not through static preservation, but through cyclical renewal. This unique Japanese vision of sustainability guides us. To pass on culture, to nurture nature, and to revitalize our community. All our actions are designed to resonate with the soul of this land, becoming part of a regenerative cycle for the future.

A Partnership with Place: Our Commitment
to a Regenerative Future

A journey with MIEscape is built on a deep and abiding promise to our home. We are active partners in shaping a sustainable future for Ise-Shima. When you choose MIEscape, you become more than a visitor. You become a partner in protecting and nurturing the natural and cultural heritage of this extraordinary place.
