Tofu Yokocho is an old street full of Edo style in front of Ise Jingu Shrine, which gathers various Japanese shops that have been operating for many years. Walking into Yokocho on a sunny day, the exquisite Chinese architecture complements the scaled Japanese shops, plus local specialty snacks, which really adds to the happiness after visiting the shrine!

Recommended route: From the outer palace of Ise Jingu, walk to Tofu Yokocho, slowly explore in depth, eat an Akfuku cake for morning tea along the way, then try the drink at several rice hotels, do not miss the hand-toasted bread with peanut butter cream.

Must-play items:
1. Rice wine tasting: The old shop displays local crafted rice wine. Some shops will give you a free tasting, so you can slowly choose your favorite to bring back to Hong Kong.
2. Akafuku Mochi: Akafuku mochi is sold almost every once in a while in Yokocho, with a soft crust and sweet but not greasy filling.
3. Take pictures: Japanese streets with Chinese architecture, modern elements, especially good photography in the sun, especially the shop signs and decorations on both sides of the street are very Japanese drama feel.

Check-in spot:
- Main street entrance: hung with various Japanese flags.
- Rice wine and wine shop: beautiful wooden building exterior.
- Akafuku Bakery: The furnishings and signage are very distinctive.
- Bakery next to the Chinese-style building: Holding butter toasted bread in one hand, you can take a unique picture that blends Eastern and Western cultures.

Game Tips:
- The crowds are moderate on weekdays, and if you want to take beautiful photos, it’s best to avoid weekends or major festivals and feel the quiet old street in the morning light early.
- Except for designated festivals and large events, Yokocho is basically open all year round, with slight differences in business hours in different seasons, you can check in advance (for example, the shop will close in the evening in August).
- The food is mostly ready to eat, some specialty snacks are best enjoyed right away and are warm.
- Many local shops only accept cash, remember to bring enough spare yen.

Notes:
- Pay special attention to valuables when crowds are high, and it is not recommended to take too many close-up portraits when crowded.
- The shops here are mostly handmade, the price is slightly higher than the average concession stand, but the quality and appearance are worth collecting.
- Most stalls can communicate in ordinary Japanese. If you don't know Japanese, you can use simple body language.
- Check the business hours to avoid emptying out. The shop will be closed later in the summer, and will close earlier in the autumn and winter.
