Great tour
Our guide, Hikura, was very informative, helpful and fun! He gave us great information in history of sites group passing, including a short to walk on the Pontocho Alley.. We arrived early enough in the Nishiki market before it was too crowded and we were able to try several unique bites that I might not have tried on my own. All were good! Overall, I would recommend!

Mich was a wonderful guide. She taught us many interesting things about Kyoto/Japanese food history. We walked through several streets of Kyoto learning about culture, stopped at a shrine, had a full meal brunch at a restaurant and finished the tour walking through Nishiki market and sampling things.

Learning about Japan through Food
Joseph was a very knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot about Japanese culture and sampled many types of food that we had never eaten before.

Highly recommended tour
If you wish to experience the food market it's better to do it in a guided tour. It will give you stories, and experience of food you will not check otherwise

Great Market experience & wonderful Guide!
Our guide was full of life and very informative about the market, shrine, temple and local traditions! The food selections and shops were perfect. It was not rushed in order to capture each stop’s experience! Thank Miya!

Tasting plus one meal
Walking tour through Nishiki Market. Tastings are samples of food at market stalls, ending with lunch at a restaurant.
Guide Hikaru was very friendly and knowledgeable about every dish. He also gave a nice tour of the shrine in the market and some of the streets around the market.

So informative!
Very nice to have a guide through the market since we were unfamiliar with a lot of the foods. Perfect to do right when you get into town! Dineth was very kind and informative.

Great Experience
Nishiki Market is a must see in Kyoto. If you dont want to go to Temples and shrines, this a great culinary and visual experience. We tried about 5 foods and then went to a restaurant. We also walked the street of surrounding area. Take a taxi to meeting stop instead of subway. Iko the guide was a wonderful friendly guide.

Wonderful Food Tour
Our guide, Sayaka, was amazing and gave us a wonderful introduction to Japanese cuisine and culture. She walked us through the amazing food court at Daimaru Kyoto, then we tasted local foods at a number of food vendors in The Nishiki Market, and we visited a Buddhist Temple and a Shrine. Our guide was outstanding, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Food is to be experienced
Walking around Kyoto, getting to know good places to eat, experiencing food… is just one of the best ways to get to know a place, people and culture. Nishiki market, basement of Daimaru all offer a variety of food unimaginable!
