• Brief description: a traditional Kyoto market specialized in everything related to food, but especially in local products of the region. You can find everything in their shops, from kitchen utensils to places to eat or buy precooked food. After visiting the market you should eat at any of their stalls: fresh or dried fish, high quality meat, traditional Japanese sweets, vegetables and fruits. 
• Cost: around 1,000 ¥ per person.
• Duration of visit: 1 hr
• How to get there: we recommend walking there. It is a long walk (2 hrs) but very much worth it. From the Kiyomizudera, follow the signs to Kodaiji temple and from here to Maruyama park. Carry on and then head for Shijo Street, until you come to the Nishiki Food Market.
