One of Mie Prefecture's greatest Phenomenons, The Ise St.Patrick's Day Parade. Over the years the parading numbers have been up to 500 people, with the Irish Ambassador and the Ise City Mayor in attendence.
Meeting at noon, at the fabulous Ise Shrine, Geku, we march along our traditional route , singing, dancing, enjoying ourselves along the way (Bagpipes, fiddles , etc. ) After we have come though Ise, we finish with the OYSTER FESTIVAL, and more dancing. Time for a breather, then in the evening (6->9pm) there will be a party across the road from Ujiyamada Station, where there will be Draught Guinness, Green Beer, Snacks, Games, Music, more Dancing and of course the Craic! Pre-booking a ticket for this party is advised, please use contact details below.
For those still standing, there is the option to move to Mie's best nightclub at a good discount.
If you cant wait until the big day, you can always grab a pint of the best Guinness shipped from Dublin in Ise's very own Irish Bar, behind Ujiyamada Station. Occasionally they host a performance of Ise's Irish folk music group.
