Refers to a street lined with shops inside the precincts of a shrine or temple, often selling souvenirs, snacks, and traditional goods. A well-known example is the Nakamise-dori leading to Senso-ji in Asakusa.
Nakamise-dori in Asakusa is always bustling with tourists.
参道 is the general approach path to a shrine or temple, while 仲見世通り specifically refers to a shopping street along that path.
門前町 is a town developed around a temple or shrine, often including shopping areas, but 仲見世通り is the street itself within the precincts.
Compound of 仲見世 (nakamise, 'shops inside shrine/temple grounds') and 通り (dōri, 'street'). The term is strongly associated with the historic Nakamise-dori at Senso-ji in Asakusa.
