【Kyoto】Nishiki Market: 400 years of history, best in the afternoon

The Nishiki Market in Kyoto has a 400-year history. It brings together 130 vendors in a narrow passage about 400 meters long and 3.9 meters wide, selling all kinds of Japanese food! Visitors can also get a glimpse of the daily life and food culture of the locals.

It is called the kitchen by Kyoto people for no other reason, because the whole road is food, and there are many choices here. You must try tempura scallops, eel🪱, crab sticks🦀 and chicken rolls🐔. You can also taste other Kyoto delicacies, including mackerel sushi, tamagoyaki, Kyoto local pickles, and Uji green tea🍵.

You can walk along the aisle and try different types of food. This is a very long section of the road, which is a good place to walk and appreciate Japanese culture. It is best to spend 2-3 hours here to eat🍢🍵🍱 and shop; this is also a good place to buy souvenirs. You will definitely gain something in Nishiki Market.

In addition, most shops will turn off the lights and close at 6pm🏮, so by dinner time, there will be less than half of the shops left, so it is recommended to come here in the afternoon to start an in-depth exploration. 😍
