Taiki occupies river valleys and a Pacific-facing coastal strip on the eastern Kii Peninsula in Mie Prefecture. The municipality reaches the Kumano-nada coast, while its inland districts lie amid the densely wooded terrain characteristic of this part of central Japan. Takihara Shrine, one of the shrines of Ise Jingu, connects the area with the Shinto traditions centred on Ise. The Kumano Kodo Iseji pilgrimage route also passes through Taiki, following the historic road between Ise and Kumano. This is a rural stop shaped by sacred places, forest routes and the sea rather than urban bustle.
