Nishiki Market

Kyoto's best "citizen's kitchen" that even professional cooks rely on

The Nishiki Market is said to have started when fishmongers opened between 782 and 806. Professional chefs still use the market today. Approximately 130 shops line the arcade, which stretches about 390 meters east to west. Most shops operate until evening.
