Miya River is a major river in central Mie Prefecture, on the island of Honshu, Japan. It flows from Mount Odaigahara through the Osugi Valley. The river has been rated one of the cleanest in Japan five times since 2000.

The white rocks used in the Oshiraishi-mochi Festival at nearby Ise Grand Shrine comes from Miya River. The river is also a popular place to view cherry blossoms in early spring. The most popular spots are parks in Watarai and Ise. The riverside park at Ise has the most sakura trees in Mie Prefecture.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
