Oharaimachi / Okage Yokocho

おはらい町・おかげ横丁

Mie · Kansai

An Edo-period pedestrian street of wooden shopfronts leading up to Ise Jingu's Naiku, lined with mochi shops, sake breweries, and craft stalls — the traditional approach walked by pilgrims for centuries.

Why we picked it

Most visitors rush through to Naiku itself and miss lingering in the street that pilgrims have walked for 400 years.
