After meeting your English-speaking guide in central Kyoto, you’ll kick off your exploration in a depachika, the basement food hall of a department store. These bustling underground markets are packed with traditional Japanese sweets, freshly prepared dishes and bento boxes, and gourmet ingredients from Japan and beyond. As you stroll through the aisles, you’ll enjoy tastings of a variety of local delicacies.
Next, you’ll head to Nishiki Market, known as “Kyoto’s Kitchen.” This lively covered market has been home to family-run stalls for generations. It’s the perfect place to discover regional specialties, fresh produce, and cooking tools. You’ll get to try signature Kyoto bites like yuba (tofu skin), gyoza dumplings, and crispy tempura.
The tour wraps up with a visit to Nishiki Tenmangu Shrine, a peaceful Shinto sanctuary tucked away near the market. Dedicated to the deity of learning, it’s a quiet spot to pause and reflect before continuing your adventure through Kyoto.
After the tour, feel free to keep exploring Nishiki Market or head off to discover another corner of the city on your own.
