Lonely Planet review

Nishiki Market (Nishiki-kōji Ichiba in Japanese) is one of Kyoto's real highlights, especially if you have an interest in cooking and eating (and we guess that you do). If you want to see all the weird and wonderful foods that go into Kyoto cuisine, this is the place. It's in the centre of town, one block north of Shijō-dōri, running west from Teramachi- dōri.

It's a great place to visit on a rainy day or as a break from temple-hopping. The variety of foods on display is staggering and the frequent cries of 'Irasshaimase' ('Welcome!') are heart-warming.
