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

Love this place, I think exploring this place was a much better or more authentic experience than ninenzaka in kyoto. The food trip was 10/10; the place was not that crowded; there was an amazing river next to it that you can enjoy in a cafe. You also must drop by the mythology place at the center of it all. It explains some good lores about japan.

Recommand to take bus here. Shops mostly open at 10am. There are also some side lanes.

You can’t avoid this on the way to Ise Grand Shrine. As with other shopping streets that lined the path to shrines, you’ll find a consolidation of the region’s specialities here (including Akafuku, a popular Japanese dessert joint). There’s a Snoopy cafe with exclusive merch and a handful of character goods stores. If you go to the alley behind the shops, you can sit in the shade and watch the river. Nice in autumn. As with many such places, the priced are slightly marked up but it’s still reasonable. Parking is tricky but we managed to find a free one a short distance away (Isuzu Park)

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.
