There is a Mandarin proverb that, when translated literally, means, “adding legs when painting a snake.” More commonly, it is interpreted as “gilding a lily.”
The moral of this proverb is not to ruin your work by unnecessary additions. Mie Prefecture is a perfect example of this proverb. Mie is the lily who chose not to be painted gold, and instead kept her natural beauty.
Mie Prefecture is located almost at the heart of Honshu Island, on the coast facing the Pacific. Having maintained its traditions, sustained its bountiful and beautiful nature, and preserved its history and culture, Mie is rich and possesses quiet allure.
Because there is no shinkansen (high-speed railway lines) in Mie, it is often overlooked and thus has remained nearly untouched by the grasping fingers of modern tourism.
Naturally, Mie’s greatest attraction is its natural heritage, that being its rich nature and history.
