Kyoto, Japan
Browse the world famous Nishiki Market in Kyoto
Step off Shijō Street in Kyoto’s downtown Nakagyō district and into a thriving food market, one filled with locals, visitors, and everyone in between — from grandmothers buying pickles to toddlers chewing on skewered octopus heads. There’s something charming about this place, and plenty to explore. And it’s been here, in one form or another, since around 1615 (and perhaps even earlier). With over 100 stalls and shops lining the covered, narrow street, Nishiki Market is basically Kyoto’s kitchen. It offers a real mixture of fresh produce and preserved treats — perfect for a snack break during a busy day of sightseeing.
