[Kyoto] Visiting Nishiki Market for Some Delicious Food!#japantravelguide #kyoto #nishikimarket

[Music] Nishiki Market is a narrow shopping street in Kyoto. Often referred to as Kyoto’s kitchen, this fresh food market is five blocks long in line with over 100 restaurants and shops. It’s a fun place to walk around, shop, and try some good food. We ended up getting the beef and potato croquettes, which were delicious. Take time to explore the market and enjoy all it has to offer. There are so many foods to try and shops to check out. Follow for more adventures around Japan. [Music]

The History of Nishiki Market
“Nishiki Market has been a hub of commerce for centuries. The first shop opened its doors around the year 1310. By the 1600s, the market was thriving. Some of the shops have been operated by the same families for multiple generations.
With the passage of time, more modern shops are finding a home in Nishiki Market. However, enough traditional shops remain to offer you a nostalgic look at Japan’s traditional shotengai, or shopping street.”
