All Reviews of Tsu Station

This time, I took the Ninja High-Speed Boat from Chubu Centrair International Airport to Tsu. The trip took about 45 minutes, crossing Ise Bay directly to the Tsu Nagisamachi ferry terminal. There are buses from the port to Tsu Station, but they don't run very frequently. I missed the bus while buying a ship stamp, so I ended up taking a taxi in Japan for the first time.

Tsu Station is shared by JR, Kintetsu, and the Ise Railway, so first-time visitors need to pay some attention to where they're going. When entering from the east exit, it's easier to reach the JR area first. If you're taking Kintetsu, you'll need to follow the signs inside the station to the Kintetsu platforms.

What left the strongest impression on me at Tsu Station was actually the Wi-Fi. My mobile data suddenly stopped working, so I had to rely on the free Wi-Fi in the JR area to look up directions. It didn't really work once I left the JR area, but fortunately, I somehow managed to make it all the way to Ujiyamada Station. It really made me miss the convenience of free Wi-Fi being available everywhere in public places in Taiwan. However, this service has now been discontinued, so anyone who suddenly needs Wi-Fi should keep that in mind.

Since I was visiting Ise Jingu, I decided to stay near Tsu Station and used the station several times over a few days. Tsu Station serves both Kintetsu and JR and is medium-sized. Most of the shops inside are restaurants, but there’s also a drugstore and a 100-yen shop. The convenience store near the Kintetsu ticket gates sells milk and tea drinks exclusive to Mie, so don’t forget to grab a bottle before heading to the platform!

It’s not the kind of station that makes you go “wow” the second you arrive, but it has everything you need. The station is clean, and the layout is pretty easy to follow, so transferring trains or heading out isn’t too confusing.

The area around it feels like a typical local city, with restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so it’s fairly convenient for grabbing a meal or waiting for your train. That said, it’s not especially lively, so it’s not really a place you’d want to hang around for long.

Overall, it feels like a low-key, everyday kind of station. If you’re just passing through or transferring, it’s smooth and hassle-free. It probably won’t leave a strong impression, but it gets the job done well.

It’s not overly crowded, and it’s not too complicated either. The area outside the station is pretty quiet, with a slightly rural feel and a slow, relaxed pace.

There’s basically no shopping or lively atmosphere, but if you’re just transferring, staying nearby, or using it as a base for visiting other spots in Mie Prefecture, it’s actually quite comfortable and stress-free.

Overall, it’s the kind of station that feels simple, low-key, and peaceful.
