If time permit, Ise is wonderful diversion between Nagoya and Kyoto.
It is not on the JR main railway line. You will be entering into new territority of few overseas tourists.
I really had to use some Japanese to communicate to find my way around.
1) "Sumimasen" (= excuse me) is a good starter. Any English words will drive any local Japanese walking very quickly away in the opposite direction apologizing and pleading that they cannot speak "Ingirisu"
2) "Ise Jingu e ikitain desukedo?" will get you towards where want to go.
Literally, I want to to to Ise Shrine but do not know how?
3) "Arigatou" (sounds like alligator) is a simple quick thank you even if you do not understand where the arms are pointing and lesser the rapid Japanese instruction given.
A wonderful slow pace to explore if you have been doing all the pushing in the commuter trains in Tokyo and the busy temple hopping in Kyoto. |
