Ike Candy
Make Kotohira’s traditional Kamiyo-ame at Gonin Hyakusho Ike Shoten, an 800-year-old candy business now led by its 28th generation. Using sugar, water and yuzu, participants discover a sweet closely tied to Konpira pilgrimage culture—and leave with an edible, locally rooted souvenir.
The stall has stood on the steps for 800 years — ask about the five families.
