Okage Yokocho | ZEKKEI Japan

Turn Japan’s best secret spots into dream destinations

Okage Yokocho
おかげ横丁
Mie

Located in front of Ise Jingu, the town recreates several prominent buildings on the Ise-ji Route that dates back to the Edo and Meiji period (1603 - 1912). It was built in 1993 by the founder to express their gratitude to the Ise Jingu, hence the name "Okage" which means thankfulness in English. The buildings have been faithfully reproduced; some of these include the Tsumairi-style buildings, as well as the Kizami kakoi, which are buildings with an outer wall to protect them against the strong rain and wind in Ise. In Yokocho, you can find souvenir shops, food establishments, as well as a wine cellar that houses the smallest brewery in Japan among others. It is an amusement park-style town suitable for people of all ages.
