After visiting the Nakonomiya, go to "Oharai Town" which crosses Ujihashi and continues to the north side. The stone-paved street, about 800 meters long along the Isuzugawa River, features a row of traditional gabled and front-entry-style buildings near the Inner Shrine.During the Edo period, inns where visitors to Ise Shrine were purified, received charms, and were entertained by priests lined the street, which is how "Oharaimachi" (Purification Town) got its name.
There are many old-fashioned souvenir shops and stalls of easy hoods lined up in merchants and historic buildings now. "Okage Yokocho" located in the middle of the Oharai Town.Transplant and reproduce the townscape of the Edo period to the Meiji (time period) era.This popular area spans approximately 2,700 tsubo, featuring a museum about pilgrimages to Ise, Okageza, the flagship store of Ise’s famous Akafuku sweets, and about 50 restaurants and shops.
