すみません、屋台はどこですか？ sumimasen, yatai wa doko desu ka? Excuse me, where are the food stalls?
あちらです。まっすぐ行って右ですよ。 achira desu. massugu itte migi desu yo. Over there, go straight and it's on the right.

Why this phrase

Peak matsuri season, and the yatai food stalls scatter around the shrine grounds. Teaches the go-anywhere doko desu ka question aimed at a festival, so tourists actually find the food. Distinct from festival-food (what to order); this one finds the stalls.
