Japan Digital Serve Corporation (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Noriaki Takashide) broadcasts programs that convey the charm of various regions in Japan on the regional information channel 'satonoka 4K/TV' (CATV 420ch/401ch, etc.). We are pleased to announce the new program 'Mie ni Oi-sa: Ise Sangu Kaido Okage Tabi' on 'satonoka 4K/TV'. The first episode is scheduled to air on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 7:00 PM. This program is a travel show themed around the Ise Sangu Kaido, a route many people walked to reach Ise Grand Shrine during the Edo period. The journey starts from Seki-juku, a post town in Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture, and heads toward Ise Grand Shrine. Former AKB48 member Yuki Kashiwagi will appear as the traveler, introducing the charm of Mie Prefecture while experiencing the history, culture, and local life remaining along the route. The starting point of the journey is Seki-juku, which flourished as the 47th post town on the Tokaido and is the starting point of the Ise-betsu Kaido. Walking through the townscape that retains the atmosphere of the Edo period, she visits inns and museums related to the Seki floats. Furthermore, in the Jin-den Terauchi-machi area of Tsu City, she visits Takada Honzan Senshu-ji Temple and the atmospheric townscape, while also experiencing local gourmet food and famous sweets rooted in the local food culture. While walking along the route that conveys the atmosphere of the post town to the present day, the program allows viewers to feel the thoughts of people who made the pilgrimage to Ise at that time and rediscover the regional charm passed down to the present day. Please watch it on satonoka 4K/TV to see what kind of journey it will be! Ahead of the broadcast, we received a comment from Yuki Kashiwagi! Q. How did you feel when you were chosen for this program? I have been to Mie for work several times, but I had never properly visited Ise Grand Shrine, so I was very happy to be able to actually walk the Sangu Kaido. Q. Do you have a message for the viewers? I think this program will help you understand the feelings of people back then by learning history and eating delicious food in the area while walking the Ise Sangu Kaido. I would be happy if you could enjoy it with me in the program. ◆Program Name: Mie ni Oi-sa: Ise Sangu Kaido Okage Tabi (6 episodes in total) ◆Cast: Yuki Kashiwagi ◆First Broadcast: satonoka 4K/TV, Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 7:00 PM ◆Production/Copyright: ZTV Co., Ltd. ◆Program Content: The pilgrimage to Ise, which many people longed for, was even sung about in Ise Ondo: 'I want to go to Ise, I want to see the Ise road, even if it's just once in a lifetime.'
