Okage Yokocho

A highly popular and crowded district filled with local gourmet and Ise souvenir shops. A trip to Ise Jingu is not complete without a stopover at the ancient streets of Okage Yokocho. Public transportation recommended especially during the weekends and public holidays.

A large recreation of an Edo period street with lots of stores selling all sorts of food/drink, souvenirs and the like. Very picturesque and like you've gone back in time.

A very famous food street that I wanted to go and finally was able to. There were so many different shops it was so fun to look at each one of them. I loved eating around getting a little bit of food at different restaurants. I also really loved the stores which had vintage items or cutlery and pottery. They also had a stamp rally going on so my friend and I decided to enter it and this was a very good choice because it allowed us to motivate ourselves to actually complete the mission which made us walk a lot. Since the different stamps are scattered around the whole area we had to go from one side to another which was great exercise without even knowing we were exercising.

Historical place to visit! Good to see if you have time.

lovely streets, so many shops and food stalls along the way to the shrine, a really lovely place to go - but my gosh it was busy!! one of the busiest concentrated areas I’ve been to in a while
