The most fun I in Kyoto was at the Nishiki Market. Five blocks long, the market has 126 shops and restaurants in stores that are centuries old.
Used by locals to do their daily shopping as well as a tourist favorite, the market is jammed with small shops and stalls, one on top of the other with no thought to zoning regulations.
Fresh seafood shops are next to stores selling food snacks, clothing, shoes, kitchen supplies, handmade Japanese knives, coffee, tea, rice, candies, fresh produce, tourist curios and nukazuke pickles, a local delicacy.
