Okage Yokocho
Okage Yokocho is a tourist destination in Ise that opened in 1993, located in the middle of Oharai-machi Street in front of the inner shrine's torii gate. The approximately 4,000-tsubo area features reconstructed buildings from the Edo to Meiji periods, lined with traditional shops. A large welcoming cat at the entrance and the shop's sign cats provide a warm atmosphere for visitors, while animal and deity figures adorn the roof tiles. There are many unique shops, including those selling the famous black honey sauce dumplings and an established Ise meat specialty store, making it worth a visit. Additionally, at the Okageza Mythology Museum, you can experience Japanese mythology, which is highly recommended as part of your visit.
