Ise: From the Outer Shrine to the Inner Shrine, Food Walk Through Okage Yokocho
Follow the traditional pilgrimage route from the Outer Shrine to the Inner Shrine. Visit Sarutahiko Shrine, the deity of pathmaking, then enjoy food walks through Okage Yokocho sampling Ise udon and Matsusaka beef skewers. Conclude at Akafuku Honten for freshly made akafuku mochi.
