Lonely Planet review for Nakamise-Dōri

Nakamise-dōri, the long, crowded pedestrian lane running from Kaminarimon gate to Hōzōmon gate, has more than 80 stalls that for centuries have been helping the Japanese people fulfil their gift-giving obligations. The wide alley is chock-a-block with small shops selling temple paraphernalia as well as traditional items of varying beauty and quality. It’s also the place to pick up locally made, salty sembei (rice crackers) and age-manju (deep-fried bean buns).
