The longest shopping street in Ise City, Shinmichi Shopping Street next to the railway

When you go to Ise, besides visiting the shrine, you may want to go to the Shinmichi Shopping Street near the station. With a total length of about 570 meters, it is the longest and most charming arched passage in Ise City, Mie Prefecture. Once you walk in, it feels like you have instantly entered the street scene in an old movie. There used to be many shops on the street. In addition to traditional pastry shops that have been in business for many years, there are also small shops selling handmade groceries and old record stores. Every few steps there is a small cafe or Japanese-style teahouse. The atmosphere is quiet and suitable for slowing down and sitting down to drink a cup of matcha or sweet soup. Although many shops are also closed with the end of time, Because of the long arch, you don’t have to worry about getting wet on rainy days. The temperature is cooler in summer, and it is a bit romantic when the lights are turned on in the morning and evening. Unlike popular attractions, this place is not as crowded as popular attractions. Instead, it is more charming because it is slightly low-key. --- 📍 Check-in location: Shinmichi Shopping Street Address: Fukiage 1-chome, Ise City, Mie Prefecture ~ Miyago #Ise Shopping Street #Walk in the Arcade #Old Street Style #Creative Stores #Handmade Groceries #Nostalgic Snacks #Rainy Day Spots #Mie Tourism #Walk Recommendations #Local Lifestyle #May Spots 2025
