Historically, pilgrims would head to the riverbank at Yabashira-jinja to cross the Miya-gawa River by boat. Takihara-jinja, an auxiliary shrine of Ise Jingu Naiku, is located on the opposite bank to the Misesaka-toge pass.
The boat disappeared around 1955, but the service was restored in 2009 by the local Mise-no-Watashi Ferry Conservation Group. A reservation is required to use the service.
