#0yentravelautumn #Mie #Ise #Isejingu #Okageyokocho #Okageyokochogourmet #Okageyokochofoodwalk #Japanesesweets #Mitarashidango 📍12 Nakanokiri-cho, Uji, Ise-shi, Mie 🕰️10:00-17:00 (varies depending on the season) LO16:30 When visiting Isejingu, you should stop by "Dangoya" in Okage Yokocho. You can enjoy "Kuromitsudango", which is popular in Ise, as well as "Mitarashidango", which is widely accepted. The combination of the hand-baked and fragrant dango and the original sauce is excellent. It's cheap and delicious, so I recommend it.

#0yentravelautumn #Mie #Ise #Isejingu #Isefood #Akafuku #Japanesesweets 📍7 Uji Imazaike-cho, Ise City 🕰️9:00AM-5:00PM (subject to change during busy periods) [Sales period] ・Akafuku Zenzai October 19, 2024 - End of sales date TBD ・Akafuku Ice April 20, 2024 - October 15, 2024 It is no exaggeration to say that Akafuku is the most famous Japanese confectionery when it comes to Ise. Akafuku mochi can be eaten at the main store, as well as at the directly managed stores in Ise and Futami, and at the Nagoya department store (2 stores). It is said that eating it with chopsticks is a relic from the time when mochi was a meal. The unique shape of Akafuku mochi represents the murmuring of the Isuzu River that flows through the grounds of Ise Shrine, the three stripes on the bean paste represent the clear water, and the white mochi represents the pebbles on the riverbed. It tastes even better when eaten with Akafuku's original roasted green tea. I ate some at the store and bought some Akafuku as a souvenir for myself.

Okage Yokocho is a must-visit spot for tourists in Mie. There are about 50 gourmet and souvenir shops lined up here, as well as Ise Shrine, which enshrines Toyouke-no-Okami, the deity who governs food, clothing and shelter. There is a large river flowing next to it, and the contrast between the green and blue is very beautiful. There were also lots of children playing in the river! 🏞️ ୨୧ ‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥୨୧ Shop: Okage Yokocho Location: From Isuzugawa Station Access: 2 minutes walk from bus stop "Jingu Kaikan-mae" Opening hours: August to September, 9:30 to 18:00 Closed: None Parking: Yes (paid parking) ୨୧ ‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥୨୧ #Summer photo #Mie trip #Mie #Ise #Okage Yokocho #Ise Shrine #Summer trip #Summer vacation #River #Nature #100 travel styles

#Travelwithme When Akafuku's zenzai turns into ice, I feel like summer is coming. There are several places where you can eat Akafuku ice near Ise Shrine, but here are some recommendations. Okage Yokocho Dangoro Chaya Since COVID ended, Ise has really become more crowded. Akafuku is also really crowded. Dangoro Chaya is a little less crowded, so I recommend it. It's nice to be able to eat soba, rice balls, and beef skewers. Another difference from Akafuku is that there are more varieties of shaved ice than just Akafuku ice. Oharaimachi is a fun place to go for a snack. It's convenient when you don't want to eat a full meal at a restaurant... but you still want to eat rice. 📌Okage Yokocho Dangoro Chaya 〒514-8558 52 Nakanokiri-cho, Uji, Ise City, Mie Prefecture (inside Okage Yokocho) -𝙊𝙋𝙀𝙉- May 2024 Weekdays 10:00-17:30 (LO 17:00) Weekends 10:00-18:00 (LO 17:30) Varies depending on the season Open all year round ⚠︎Although it is a branch of Akafuku, you cannot eat "regular Akafuku" Please note that the cash registers are different for shaved ice, soba rice balls, and beef skewers (you can sit anywhere) Please check the latest information when you go out ꒰ঌ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈໒꒱ Thank you for reading to the end Like!

After visiting the Geku and Naiku shrines of Ise Jingu, we recommend a food stroll around Oharaimachi and Okage Yokocho, located next to the Naiku shrine. There are a variety of carefully selected local gourmet restaurants and souvenir shops lined up here. We especially recommend Akafuku Honten, where you can enjoy freshly baked Akafuku with tea. 🍵 On days off, there are taiko drum performances, making it a fun town that feels like a festival! #trip2023 #visitingiseise

Okage Yokocho is a town lined with over 50 shops. It is a 5-minute walk from Uji Bridge at the Naiku Shrine of Ise Shrine. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll and take your time to see the buildings, food, scenery, and streetscape. It is a place where many people stop by after visiting Ise Shrine. You can wander around here again and again wondering "What should I eat?" and "What souvenirs should I buy?" No matter how many times you go around, it is a wonderful place! And in Okage Yokocho is the main store of everyone's favorite Akafuku. At the main store, you can enjoy your meal on the veranda with a tray. It was a special time. #IseJingu #AkafukuMainStore

We visited the main Akafuku store in Okage Yokocho, Mie Prefecture! We ate inside the store 😁🙌 The freshly made Akafuku was delicious 🥰 I want to tell you that, maybe because it's Golden Week, you have to get a numbered ticket if you want to eat inside the store! We waited about 60 minutes, so if you want to eat Akafuku in Okage Yokocho, your first priority should be to get a numbered ticket 🤔 ✈︎ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー✈︎ We are a couple living in Kansai who love to travel 👫💕 We are looking for spots for us to introduce on Tabitoko!

Address: Okage Yokocho, Mie Prefecture Atmosphere/Facilities: Old-fashioned Recommended points: Unusual space and souvenir shops! Average price: ¥2000 Budget per person: ¥2000 Evaluation: The price is for tourists, but the retro space is very fun! When a state of emergency is declared, the stores are closed completely, and they take proper measures, so I think it's a great tourist spot. When there are no people around, it's very quaint. #Gourmet #Gourmet trip #Cool travel experience

It's been a while since I last visited, but I took a stroll around Okage Yokocho♪♪ I enjoyed the famous Akafuku and spiny lobster and other gourmet foods👍 I personally think that Mie Prefecture is a pretty gourmet prefecture, but what do you think? ? You should definitely go to Okage Yokocho✨ #GourmetTrip #CoupleTrip #Gourmet #OkageYokocho #EatingOut

I went to the souvenir shop "Iwato-ya" in Okage Yokocho!

I had lunch at "Tekonechaya" in Okage Yokocho near Ise Shrine 🌷 At this restaurant, you can enjoy Ise udon and tekone sushi ☺️ (The tekone sushi was like a marinated tuna bowl!)

I couldn't help but take a lot of photos 😳 You can eat freshly made Akafuku and Zenzai at the store, so I'd definitely like to go again ❤️ #retrotownscape #Mie #Mietourism #Okageyokocho #Akafukumainstore #Akafuku#greatview #foodtrip #triptoenjoyspring #coupletrip #food

A two-day, one-night model itinerary to fully enjoy Ise Here's the second day ( /•ө•)/ ①Let's go see the sunrise at Meoto Iwa 🌞 📍Location 575 Futami-cho, Ise City We recommend that you check the sunrise time ✅ and go with plenty of time! Watching the sunrise at Meoto Iwa while listening to the sound of the ocean waves in the clear air of the early morning is truly calming. Whether you can see a beautiful sunrise is up to your luck. It's also recommended to go for a walk early in the morning!! By the way, it was cloudy when I went, so I couldn't see the sunrise. . . ②Ise Grand Shrine (About 20 minutes by car from Meoto Iwa) 📍Location [Naiku] 1 Ujidate-cho, Ise City [Geku] 279 Toyokawa-cho, Ise City Access🚗 [Train🚃] To Geku 5 minutes walk from Ise-shi Station To Naiku 15 minutes by bus from Ujiyamada Station or Ise-shi Station. Get off in front of Naiku. [Bus🚌] Naiku~Geku Mie ​​Kotsu Naiku-Geku circular bus This is convenient✨About 15 minutes [Car🚗] 5 minutes from Ise-nishi IC, heading towards Naiku Parking🅿️ There are parking lots at both Naiku and Geku. (Paid) It gets very crowded during peak seasons. When visiting both shrines, it is said that the traditional and official order of worship is to go from Geku to Naiku. It is surrounded by a quiet forest, so walking around it calms your mind for some reason 😌 It has a sacred atmosphere. It is recommended to go early in the morning ⛩ ③ Okage Yokocho 📍 Location 52 Nakanokiri-cho Uji, Ise City 🕰️ Business hours Varies by shop Around 09:30-17:00 Okage Yokocho spreads out near the Inner Shrine of Ise Jingu! It reproduces the streetscape of the Ise Route from the Edo to Meiji eras, and you will feel like you have traveled back in time 🥺 There are many gourmet foods from Ise!! Ise has the sea, so the seafood is delicious. And the meat is delicious. I think it is the best. Ise udon, croquettes made with Ise beef. You will have to queue, but it is worth lining up everywhere!! Eat everything that catches your eye and looks delicious! and get your fill! ④ Akafuku When you think of Okage Yokocho, you think of Akafuku. There was a long line at the Akafuku main store. I was prepared for it, but it was still tough to stand in line. If you really want to go to the main store, it's best to try your best to stand in line. If you don't mind but want to eat Akafuku at the store, About a 10-minute walk from Okage Yokocho. Akafuku Isuzugawa Store 📍Location 1-11-5 Uji Urata, Ise City 🕰️Business hours 09:00~17:00 It's a little walk from Okage Yokocho, but this store is easier to enter and has a more relaxed atmosphere than the main store. It was winter, so I had the limited edition zenzai 😋 It has a refined taste and you can eat it all in one go. You can also take it out. The expiration date of Akafuku is short, so it's a shame that you can't buy a lot of it as a souvenir. The roasted green tea was also delicious, so I recommend it as a souvenir! ! I still want to eat. I have to catch the Shinkansen, so I'm heading to Nagoya Okage Yokocho ▶︎ Nagoya Station About 2 hours by car ⑤ Old Yabatan 📍Location 2nd floor, Aron Nishiki, 3-14-9 Nishiki, Naka-ku, Nagoya 🕰️Business hours: 17:00-24:00 (last order 23:30 for drinks and food) Closed New Year's holidays Access🚃 2 minutes walk from Sakae Station Exit 1 A retro pub based on the concept of Yabatan when it was founded in 1947! Kushikatsu and miso oden are recommended. You can enjoy dishes made with miso sauce that is not available to the public🙏 When you think of Yabatan, you think of miso katsu! Set meals! But the old Yabatan offers a menu that goes perfectly with alcohol! Everything I ordered was delicious, but what impressed me the most was the egg in the miso oden!! It was half-boiled. Oden with soft-boiled eggs is rare! And the flavor was so good I was impressed ☺️ I returned to Nagoya in time for the Shinkansen and headed home. It was a model course that I thoroughly enjoyed ٩( ´ω` )و I hope this was helpful in any way! #DomesticTravelGuide #IseJingu #OkageYokocho #Akafuku #OldYabaton

#Spring0yenTrip I went to Ise Shrine to collect temple stamps. The deep forest and sunlight filtering through the trees in the shrine grounds are very beautiful and soothing. I was moved by the indescribable warmth that enveloped me along the way. Okage Yokocho and Oharai Yokocho were not as crowded as I thought they would be, so I enjoyed eating my way around. My favorite is the tofu donuts. They're chewy and healthy, and you can eat as many as you want. 📍Location: Ise Shrine

Must-eat when you come to Okage Yokocho Fukusuke's Ise Udon This store is a self-service store with a very fast turnover, so you can eat quickly. There is almost no waiting time, so I recommend it. Akafuku Even if there is a long line at the main store, it may be empty if you go to the Isuzugawa store on the parking lot side. I wonder if this is a little hidden gem? I recommend it. Bonus Okage dog fortune You can draw a very cute fortune. It's interesting to find out more about Okage dogs #0 yen trip February 2025
