Great souvenirs can be found on this tour! - When Ikki guided us on another tour, he mentioned how amazing this Nishiki Market tour was, so we decided to give it a try, and it exceeded our expectations! At Nishiki Market, we finally found the beautiful Japanese knife we had been longing for. Thanks to Ikki's thoughtful advice to bring enough cash, as the shop only accepted cash, the purchase was seamless. Now, we can’t wait to go home and start cooking with it! Ikki’s expert guidance and recommendations made this tour an unforgettable experience.

Amazing food experience! - We had such a great experience with our guide, Ikki, on the morning tour that we decided to book the afternoon Nishiki Market tour too. He was incredibly friendly and shared so much about Japanese food and the history of the market. If you’re up for some walking, I highly recommend doing both tours back-to-back, it’s totally worth it!!!

Must book Nishiki tour with the guide name IKKI - After an incredible morning tour of Kyoto with Ikki, we decided to his Nishiki Market tour as well! and WOW, what a great decision! Once again Ikki's knowledge and enthusiasm made exploring the market so much more enjoyable. Nishiki is packed with unique flavors and local delights, and having someone to explain the history behind the stalls and suggest must-try foods made all the difference. I tried everything from fresh sashimi to sweet mochi, and it was ALL AMAZING!

A Food Lover’s Dream street! - Nishiki Market is a foodie’s paradise! The energy here is incredible, with colorful stalls, delicious smells, and so much to explore. I tried so many amazing local foods—grilled seafood, fresh mochi, and even matcha ice cream. The guide IKKI was super friendly and happy to share their recommendations. It’s the perfect spot to soak up Kyoto’s food culture and try things you’ve never had before. Don’t leave Kyoto without visiting this market!
