Oharai Machi, Okage Yokocho
In front of the Inner Shrine of Ise Jingu Shrine, there's a street called Oharai Machi that bustles with numerous worshippers every year. From the Edo Period to early Meiji Period, many people called Onshi lived here and performed Shinto dance and music for their worshippers (Oharai), thus, the name Oharai Machi is believed to have come about.
After visiting the sacred Ise Jingu, you definitely shouldn't miss Okage Yokocho in front of the shrine! The gorgeous, traditional Japanese buildings are everywhere, and you’ll find all kinds of street food like grilled beef skewers and sweets. 👍
