The Shima City Tourism Association will begin selling "castle stamps" as a new item.
A "Gojoin" (castle stamp) is essentially the castle version of a "Goshuin" (temple/shrine stamp). Over 1,000 different types of Gojoin are already sold at castles (and castle ruins) throughout Japan, and they are extremely popular as collector's items among castle enthusiasts.
There are over a dozen castle ruins confirmed within Shima City, and among them, the most representative is Namikiri Castle.
Currently, the site of Namikiri Castle has been developed into Hachiman-san Park, but earthen rampart-like terrain remains that suggests the castle site.
The Shima City Tourism Association hopes that this will encourage people to visit Shima and tour its castle ruins.
| Sales price | 300 yen per piece |
| Sales Location | ① Shima City Tourist Information Center (inside Kintetsu Ugata Station) (9:00-17:00) *Open all year round ② A shop near the ruins of Namikiri Castle (along the road from the Daiozaki Lighthouse bus stop to the ruins of Namikiri Castle) Pearl shop Arafuramaru (9:00 AM - 16:30 PM) Pearl Shop Ryugu (9:00 AM - 16:30 PM) Marui Himono Shop (8:00 AM - 15:30 PM) |
Shima Mediterranean Village in Hamajima-cho, Shima City, will be completely renovating its popular "Wanwan Suite Room," a room where guests can stay with their dogs, and will begin offering it from May 15, 2026.
In this renovation, we have improved the comfort and safety of dogs and the convenience of their owners, based on feedback from our past guests.
We've transformed travel with your beloved dog into a more free and high-quality experience.
These are two limited-edition private villas located within the iconic white townscape of Shima Mediterranean Village, designed exclusively for guests traveling with their dogs.
This villa-style property is available for private rental and features a spacious 120 square meter living area with a bedroom on the first floor and a living room on the second floor.
During your stay, you can freely explore the beautiful streets, which change their appearance day and night, with your beloved dog, and enjoy an extraordinary experience that makes you feel as if you are traveling through a Mediterranean town.
We have lifted the previous restriction on dogs using the bedroom.
By allowing your beloved dog to share the same space, we aim to provide a more reassuring and comfortable stay.
While we generally do not allow dogs in the restaurant for dinner or breakfast, we have now prepared a new breakfast option that you can enjoy in your room with your dog.
Enjoy a relaxing morning with your dog without worrying about disturbing others, thanks to our take-out box-style breakfast that can be enjoyed in your room.
Additionally, you can continue to enjoy light meals with your dog at the in-house cafe (9:00 AM - 17:30 PM).
We have revised our previous pet limit, and now allow up to 3 small or medium-sized dogs, and up to 2 large dogs, to stay at the same time.
We will make your family trip a reality.
We offer a variety of activities to make your stay a special memory, including cafes where you can enjoy time with your dog, craft workshops, and cruises.
To reduce the strain on your dog's legs and hips, we've adopted "TOLI Fabric Tile," a special flooring material with an anti-slip finish.
We have created an environment where you can feel safe and secure even indoors.
In addition to the high-performance air purifier "AirDog," we have also introduced the ozone deodorizing device "Sunstar Giken QAIS-Air-."
We minimize the unpleasant odors that can arise when bringing pets, creating a clean and safe environment.
We offer a wide selection of products, including special cookies for dogs, as well as convenient items for pet owners (such as walking bags and cleaning supplies).
We designed the rooms to allow guests to enjoy their time in the rooms and to explore the village itself.
The new guest rooms have been relocated to a location closer to the front desk.
It made traveling with my dog much easier, as I tend to have a lot of luggage.
We've installed a sofa specifically designed for dogs, made by Sanko Co., Ltd., a furniture manufacturer in Shima City.
We have prepared a "special seat" for your dog.

On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, "Matoya no Mori," a children's play area using wood sourced from Mie Prefecture, opened at the Grand Mercure Ise-Shima Resort & Spa in Isobe-cho, Shima City.
Based on the theme of "touch, learn, and create," this new family-friendly spot allows children to play while feeling the warmth of wood.
It's a space where you can enjoy yourself even on rainy days, and you can experience the nature and blessings of the forests of Ise-Shima during your trip.
"Matoya no Mori" is an educational and hands-on wood-based kids' space where children can learn about nature and the workings of the forest while playing.
The building is divided into the following four areas:
An area where children can play freely and move their bodies in a space enveloped in the warmth of wood.
You can enjoy the scent and texture of wood with all your senses while touching play equipment and toys made from wood sourced from Mie Prefecture.
A reading space where parents and children can relax, featuring picture books with themes of trees, forests, and nature.
It's perfect for a short break during your travels.
This area allows you to learn about the "forest cycle"—from how forests grow, how trees develop, and how they connect to our lives—in a fun way through illustrations.
This is an experiential learning environment that fosters children's curiosity and their ability to ask "why?" and "how?".
This craft area allows you to freely enjoy making things using natural materials such as wood scraps and nuts.
Another appealing aspect is being able to preserve travel memories in a tangible form.
You can take your finished artwork home with you.
"Matoya no Mori" is available exclusively to hotel guests.
Opening hours are from 15:00 to 20:00, and admission is free (all-inclusive).
Furthermore, the hotel also offers rooms designed with families with young children in mind.Official WebsiteFor reservations made through this service only, up to two children aged 0-6 years old who share a bed with their parents can stay free of charge (room and meals included).
On May 4th (Monday, public holiday) and 5th (Tuesday, public holiday), 2026, a special workshop called "Making Your Own Forest Bag" will be held, led by a woodworking instructor from the local workshop, Kanjindo.
You can enjoy creating your own original, natural-style bags using wood and natural materials sourced from Mie Prefecture.
It's also a great way to create lasting memories with your family.
Quintessa Hotel Ise-Shima holds a "Bath Day" once a month where guests can enjoy a day trip to the hot springs for 500 yen (tax included).
This is a great and convenient offer that allows you to easily use the hotel's bath facilities.
It's recommended not only for local residents but also for those visiting Shima for sightseeing or business.
When you want to soothe the fatigue of your travels or just take a break, why not enjoy a relaxing bath?

The Shima City Tourism Statistics (7 edition) has been released.
This statistic allows you to view various data related to tourism trends in Shima City, such as the number of tourists visiting and the number of overnight stays.
We encourage tourism-related businesses and others to use this information as a reference for future business planning and information gathering.
In 2025 (January-December), the number of tourists visiting Japan was 4,100,674, and the number of overnight guests was 1,515,542. Compared to 2024, the total number of tourists increased by 3.6%, and the number of overnight guests increased by 6.4%. In addition, the number of foreign overnight guests was 42,248, a significant increase of 26.8% compared to 2024.
The main factors contributing to the increase in tourist numbers include the hosting of the 44th National Abundant Seas Festival and the continued high visitor numbers of Shima Spain Village, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. These synergistic effects resulted in an increase in both day-trippers and overnight visitors throughout the city.
Furthermore, we have seen a particularly strong influx of foreign guests, especially from Taiwan and Hong Kong, which we believe is a result of the top sales efforts we have been implementing since last year.
| R07 (person) | R06 (person) | Compared to the previous year (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 4,100,674 | 3,959,041 | 103.6 |

① Survey period: January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025
② Survey period: January to February 2026
③ Number of day-trippers: The survey targets tourist destinations with an annual number of 1 or more tourists, or a number of 5 or more tourists during specific periods.
④ Number of overnight guests: A survey was conducted on 152 facilities that the city has a record of.
*For accommodations that did not respond, the number of guests was estimated by calculating the average occupancy rate for each type and size of accommodation and multiplying that occupancy rate by the capacity of the accommodations that did not respond.

The exhibition features a variety of displays, including panels introducing the sculptures that adorn the "Nativity Facade," which expresses the joy of the birth of Jesus Christ, and models that conceive of the church's structure and design.
Additionally, a new exhibition room will be set up on the second floor where visitors can enjoy the world of the Spanish masterpiece "Don Quixote," which also serves as the motif for Shima Spain Village's characters, through videos and panels.
*Due to renovation work, some exhibits at Javier Castle Museum will be unavailable from February 14th (Sat) to March 31st (Tue), 2026.
Additionally, the entire facility will be closed from Wednesday, April 1st to Friday, April 17th, 2026.
