    Lots of food to try so skip lunch! Watch out for more expensive prices on items and gifts as its a popular tourist spot. Love this market - find the spicy powder and thank me later!

    🐙 is just average,nothing to shout. Cheap and fresh uni and sashimi a must order. Grill octopus and crab stick is very delicious. There are 2 part of nishiki market in the area. One has leaser shops

    Cute food market in the center of Kyoto. Nice selection of local products and seafood. It's a little bit touristy (but still authentic) with somewhat higher prices. But nice to visit nonetheless.

    A food-lover's dream. Nishiki Food Market is a looooong hallway filled with small food stands and restaurants. You can eat anything from pickled veg, eel, sushi, takoyaki, matcha ice cream - so good!

    Loads of goodies here. We found a seafood shop selling giant oysters for ¥700 each but totally worth it. So fresh. Grab Toro sashimi for ¥800. Fresh uni in shell for ¥450! Yummy

    Grilled fresh abalone, tiger prawn, squid, hotate and butter hotate with shell 👍🏻👍🏻. Roasted chestnut also a must try. Uni and fresh oyster was super delicious and sweet. Tempura just average.

    Great artisan stalls, some vegetarian friendly food too! Don't forget to check out Daishodo Art and Print shop. Such a treasure if you're looking for authentic Japanese art at a good price!

    Fresh sashimi! Buy from few food stalls and stand or sit and eat your haul. There’s sake tasting for ¥100 per shot. The shot is quite huge. ❤️

    Great street market in enclosed space. Good mix of tourist trap junk, fresh local produce, genuine local spices and condiments, ready to eat street food like octopus on a stick, and unique local items

    It’s a market complex full of seafood produce, local Japanese snacks, souvenirs, soy donuts, and what not. Very very crowded. Go for the ones which the locals line up for!

    If you like organic and local delicacies, dont miss the Kyo yasai 京野菜 shop with amazing matsutake 松茸 mushroom now in October and organic miso, local Kyoto vegetables and fruits and tsukemono.

    This great snack pit-stop has alleys of specialist stalls — walls of exotically seasoned rice crackers, plus acres of pickles. Don’t miss Aritsugu, the 500-year-old purveyor of esteemed kitchenware. Read more

    The best way to get to know a city is through its markets! Nishiki Market is a combination of new and old. Traditional ware and modern boutiques. Skip the departmental stores and come here.

    So many great trinket finds within what seems to be miles worth of vendors. If you're traveling, bring your passport because some shops are Duty Free and they have to stamp it to omit the tax.

    Narrow street filled with more than 100 food stands and restaurants. Don't miss Nishiki Warai, which serves the best okonomiyaki (traditional, savory Japanese pancake cooked directly at the table).

    The food is great, and there are so many options! Make sure you go on an empty stomach. You will probably want to come back another day to finish trying all the food!

    Touristy but still a fun walk through. Great place to buy souvenirs and taste samples of local foods. Look out for the stand selling taiyaki.
