Nishiki Market

Nishiki Market in Kyoto is a five-block market selling kyo-yasai vegetables, seafood, street food, desserts, and souvenirs. It has a 400-year history as Kyoto's kitchen, where visitors pick and eat items such as Kobe beef skewers, uni gunkan, croquettes, and strawberry mochi. The arcade-style passage allows visitors to walk through even when it rains, and orders can generally be placed in Konglish without speaking Japanese. It is crowded enough that tourists push through the passage.
