Tickets and Fees
Checked in July 2026: there is no entry fee for Okage Yokocho itself. Shop and restaurant hours vary by season, generally around 9:30 to 17:30 or 18:00, and some close earlier in winter, so check individual shop hours if you have specific stops in mind.
How to Get There
From Iseshi Station or Ujiyamada Station, take a local bus or taxi toward Naiku; Okage Yokocho is a short walk from the Naiku bus stop, roughly 5 minutes on foot.
Nearby Attractions
Okage Yokocho sits a short walk from Ise Grand Shrine, making it an easy add-on after visiting Naiku. If you have more time in Mie, the theme parks and hot springs at Nagashima Resort make a good contrast.
