Kyotos Kitchen—thriving for 400 years
Nishiki Market today is very different from its origins as an open-air fish market some 400 years ago.
Nishiki Market has an astonishing 130 vendors packed into a narrow passageway that is approximately 400 meters long and 3.9 meters wide. It continues to thrive, attracting not only visitors, but Kyoto locals too.
Recommended souvenirs: pickles, tea, sake, rice crackers, and dried fish snacks A glimpse into the lives of local people and their food culture.Nishiki Market is easily accessible from Kyoto Station[1] by subway or bus.
The market is an historical arcade on Nishikikoji Street, just north of Shijo Street and running parallel to it. From Kyoto Station[2] , you can take the Karasuma subway line to Shijo Station and enter the market from the west side at Takakura Street.
