Start your day in the lively hustle and bustle of Nishiki Market! This traditional Japanese market brings together a wide variety of food, with over a hundred shops selling fresh seafood, seasonal produce and cookware — no wonder it is known as "Kyoto's Kitchen"! Our top tip: be sure to try the soy milk from "Senmanya", a long‑established shop with over 210 years of history — it is an essential ingredient in Kyoto home cooking. Teramachi Kyogoku Shopping Arcade might leave you a little bemused: the blend of history and modernity sees top fashion brands like Louis Vuitton sitting side by side with traditional woodblock print shops like Daishodo. This tour is the perfect combination of cultural experience and retail therapy!
