What is Ise-Shima
Kirari Sensen?
|
Welcome to Ise-Shima Kirari Sensen - English Version-
The Gem of Ise-Shima.
This English version of Kirari Sensen was translated
by the staff of The Mie Times from the website of Kirari
Sensen (http://www.kirari1000.com/ ) with the Kirari
Sensen Project Group's approval to publicize Ise-Shima
to the world as part of their projects. Photos were
offered by the Group. This English version was created
at the suggestion and with the support of Kirari Satooya-seido,
a Mie Prefecture subsidy system.
The goal of Kirari Sensen is to let the true charms
of Ise Shima be known to as many people as possible.
The idea of Ise-Shima Kirari Sensen was born in the
Ise Shima Living Creating Zone Vision in 1999. The project
was an attempt by a group of dedicated private volunteers
and officers within Mie Prefectural cities, towns, and
villages to find solutions that would make the Ise-Shima
area a better place to live and visit. Ise Shima Kirari
Sensen is one of 45 projects created at that workshop.
A questionnaire was sent out asking respondents to recommend
treasures of Ise-Shima, including beautiful scenery,
historic sites, festivals, and local delicacies in 17
cities, towns and villages throughout the Ise Shima
area. From July to September 2001, 4733 recommendations
were submitted. The Selection Board of the Kirari Sensen
Project Group chose 1056 of these gems as Kirari Sensen.
