Area Guide : Jingu

 

Japanese tradition you can feel, on Oharai Machi, the street outside Ise Jingu

After you pray at Ise Jingu, stroll down the streets of yesteryear. From Uji Bridge, along the banks of the Isuzu River, walk down cobblestone streets surrounded by souvenir shops, long-established purveyors of sweets, inns, etc. You can feel the atmosphere of traditional Japan in the old wooden buildings all in a row. Even during the Edo Period (from the 17th century to the mid 19th century), this place was inundated with pilgrims.
