Nishiki market

Kyoto's "people's kitchen" that even professional chefs rely on

It is said that the market began as a fish shop opened during the Enryaku era (782-806), but it wasn't until the Edo period that it began to flourish as a full-fledged market. Even today, there are many long-established stores that are favored by professional chefs and Kyoto residents.
Approximately 130 stores line the arcade, which stretches 390 meters from east to west. Most of the stores are open until the evening.
