My Trip

The 400-year-old Nishiki Market is the 'Kitchen of Kyoto,' some 130 shops packed into a narrow arcade. Eat your way bite by bite — dashimaki, soy-milk doughnuts, Kyoto pickles, matcha sweets — and round it off at the small shrine at the end, a foodie stroll.

Itinerary

1
Nishiki Market Main Street錦市場
Nakagyo · Market · 60 min stay
The heart of Kyoto food culture, an arcade of about 390m lined with old fish, pickle, tofu, and sweets shops. Eating one-bite skewers and samples as you walk is content in itself.
오전 10~11시(점포 다 열고 덜 붐빔)
Walk 3 min
2
Miki Keiran三木鶏卵
Restaurant · 12 min stay
An old shop specializing in moist dashimaki soaked in Kyoto-style dashi broth. A freshly-cooked, warm slice of rolled egg is a Nishiki must.
Walk 2 min
3
Konnamonjaこんなもんじゃ
Cafe · Street food · 12 min stay
Soy-milk doughnuts and soy-milk soft-serve from a tofu shop's direct outlet. A signature street snack worth queuing for, with the savory nuttiness of pure soybean.
Walk 2 min
4
Uchida Pickles打田漬物
15 min stay
Kyoto specialty pickles like cheese-eggplant, suguki, and shibazuke displayed in colorful rows for sampling. A great place to taste and buy zukemono, central to the Kyoto table.
Walk 4 min
5
Nishiki Tenmangu Shrine錦天満宮
Shrine · 15 min stay
A shrine to the deity of learning at the market's east end. The torii embedded into the building and the drinkable 'Nishiki spring water' are specialties — a tidy finish to the food tour.
