Nakamise-dori, Nagano Overview
The 400 metre stone-paved street climbing to Zenko-ji's gate, lined with pilgrim lodgings, seven-spice sellers, miso shops and stalls selling oyaki, the buckwheat dumplings stuffed with vegetables that Nagano is known for. It sits outside the temple ticket, so it costs nothing, and it is where most people actually eat before or after the visit.
