Places in Iga
Iga is roughly in the center of the Japanese islands.
It is located just between the cities of Osaka and Nagoya and is approximately a 90 minute drive from the Kansai International Airport. It is also about a 110 minute drive from the Chubu Centrair International Airport.
It has also flourished as a cultural crossroad since ancient times, with the Kiyomizu-dera and Kinkaku-ji temples in Kyoto, the Ise Grand Shrine in Ise, and Kashikojhima Island, where the Ise-Shima Summit has previously been held.
