Oharai-machi (おはらい町)
This is an 800-meter stone-paved street that follows the Izusugawa River from Ise Jingu Naiku’s Ujibashi Bridge. Full of shops with the gables and hipped roofs of the tsumairi architectural style, the area is bustling with tourists. The flagship store selling Ise’s famous confection “akafuku” (anko-coated mochi) as well as many shops offering souvenirs are located here, and taking a stroll here after worshipping at the shrine is recommended. On this street visitors can find historical structures such as the Jingu Dojo and Saishu Shokusha, and enjoy an overall ambience that is very representative of O-Ise-San.

Mie Areas
Spread across the eastern side of the Kii Peninsula, Mie prefecture boasts hundreds of kilometers of pretty coastline comprising the oyster-rich Toba city and Shima National Park all the way down to Kumano, a city that marks the beginning of part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, which runs into neighboring Wakayama prefecture. However, Mie is best known for the Ise Jingu Shinto shrine inland, one of the oldest and largest shrines in the country.
