Extraordinary experience of Kyoto maple leaves｜Red Leaf Park Handicraft Market

Kyoto has preserved a large number of traditional buildings, culture and customs, and the market is one of the most vivid windows to display this traditional culture. The origin of the Kyoto market is that there are too many temples and shrines in Kyoto, and nearby residents would gather here during holidays. Therefore, many vendors who saw the opportunity would set up stalls to supply tea, and gradually it evolved into today's unique Kyoto market culture centered around temples and shrines. In the middle of the maple viewing trip, arrange a market visit, which is unique and interesting. ❤Recommendation reason: The Umekoji Handmade Market is located in Umekoji Park. The park is very spacious and the passages in the middle of the market are also very wide, making it very suitable for traveling with children or pets. There is a large lawn next to the market where you can have a picnic and rest freely. The end of the park is connected to the aquarium. It is also not far from the beautiful ginkgo trees of Nishi Honganji Temple. It is one of the most popular markets in the city. During the maple leaf season, the red leaves in the park are just perfect to look at, it’s so relaxing! ✅Must experience: Since it is a handmade market, most of the stalls are handmade original brands. I went shopping with my friends and saw many good ideas. 🔥Brooches made of felt, buy a lot 🔥Rings made of coins from various countries 🔥Brooches and hairpins made of pine cones. The old man patiently explained how to change the color and process the green pine cones. 🔥Brooch made of copper sheets. 🔥Brooch made from hand-painted pottery. 🔥I bought two beautiful card holders made of traditional Japanese fabrics. 🔥The pickles from the Kamo region look very crispy. 🔥There are also small Japanese Akoya pearls. I bought two pairs of earrings. The comfortable distance between the stalls also makes the whole process enjoyable. 💰Payment Most of the market requires cash, some stalls support Alipay
