Okage Yashiki, an interactive museum, has opened in Okage Yokocho near Ise Jingu Shrine. Yoshi immediately visited and enjoyed the latest spot and summer delicacies.

The mysterious creature "Okagesama," born from "gratitude," comes to life!

The exterior is a tasteful building with a sense of history, and it is a mysterious mansion where the mysterious creature "Okagesama," born from feelings of "gratitude," comes to life.

It's a place where you can enjoy 12 types of interactive games using images and sounds! Children, of course, but adults too will find themselves returning to their childhood with the tricks placed throughout.

(Yoshi)
"The exterior is a building with a sense of history, but once you step inside, it feels like an art museum."

It is likely to become a new staple spot for families and tourists!

Experience the "Okage-inu" that visits the shrine on behalf of its owner! Also try the shadow puppet game that is "difficult even for adults"

One of the games is a hands-on corner where you make shadow puppets. There are three difficulty levels, and Yoshi challenged the most difficult one, "Frog"! It is said that something mysterious happens if you can make the shape well.

(Guide staff, Yuki Hamaguchi)
"It might be the most difficult even for adults."

(Yoshi)
"How is it... something came out! The shadow puppet has been reborn as an actual frog drawing! Cute!"

Next, he experienced a game with the theme of "Oise-mairi," a major event in the Edo period. The game also introduces the anecdote that in the Edo period, there were "Okage-inu" that visited Ise Jingu Shrine on behalf of owners who could not go, allowing players to learn historical trivia while enjoying the game.

(Yoshi)
"Everyone is so kind, they opened the path for me. By enjoying games like this, you can feel what the Oise-mairi of the past was like and learn about it."

"Measuring your fortune and studying Ise" Surprised by a unique fortune slip!

In addition to games, there is also a unique "omikuji" (fortune slip) in the facility. When Yoshi drew one, a sound rang out, and the result was "small luck"! The omikuji not only tells your fortune but also contains episodes related to Oise-mairi, making it enjoyable as a reading material.

(Yoshi)
"It says a lot of things. So, it's an omikuji where you can measure your fortune and also learn about Ise."

Okage Yashiki, where you can exercise, learn history, and even tell your fortune. Yoshi also enjoyed it to the fullest, returning to his childhood, with a big smile saying, "Oh, that was fun!"

The immersive experience unique to interactive museums offers a charm that is completely different from museums where you just look at exhibits.

"Sweet and sour!" Finishing with "Amanatsu Ice," perfect for summer

After a lot of physical activity, it's time for gourmet food at Okage Yokocho!

He headed to "Dangoro Chaya." Here you can enjoy shaved ice perfect for summer. Yoshi had "Amanatsu Ice," made with Amanatsu oranges from Mie Prefecture.

(Yoshi)
"Well, let's eat! It smells good, refreshing. Sweet and sour!"

The refreshing sourness of Amanatsu oranges in "Amanatsu Ice" is a dish you definitely want to try to cool down in the summer heat.

(Yoshi)
"Today's recommended catchphrase! 'Thanks to you, newly opened! Experience Oise-mairi at the latest interactive museum.' A new way to enjoy has been added!"

Why not enjoy the summer of Okage Yokocho along with the moving experience at "Okage Yashiki"?
