💡 Tips for Visitors

Most shops are cash-only, so bring Japanese yen before visiting. The street gets very crowded during New Year holidays and the first days of the month when temple visitors peak, so consider visiting on weekdays for a more relaxed experience. Try the local specialty kuzumochi (fermented wheat starch cake) from the historic shops—many offer free samples and have picture menus to help non-Japanese speakers.
