Nishiki Market Food Tour

A guided walk through "Kyoto's Kitchen", a 400-year-old, five-block covered market street of roughly 100 stalls selling Kyoto vegetables, fresh-water fish, yuba (tofu skin), pickles, and skewered street food, with a guide pointing out what's worth stopping for.

Self-guided visits are free; you only pay for what you eat. Eating while walking is discouraged/prohibited at most stalls; eat where you buy. Go before 11am or after 5pm to dodge the worst of the crowds; many stalls close by 6–7pm and some close Wednesdays or Sundays.
