Major city · Japan
Kameyama亀山市
Visit Kameyama for a half‑day stop (castle and historic post town) or stay one night if you want to explore Seki‑juku; no more than 1 night needed.
Kameyama is a small city in Mie Prefecture, midway between Kyoto and Nagoya on the JR Kansai Line. Its main attractions – Kameyama Castle and the historic post‑town Seki‑juku – are close to the station, making a half‑day visit feasible. Overnight is optional for a relaxed walk through Seki‑juku and a dinner at the local Brazilian eatery.
