#Itinerary sharing #beaches #KYOTO #Nishiki Market #Kinkakuji #OKAZAKISHINJA #OMIGINSHRIJI Looking back on my 18-day solo trip to Japan in 2022 when the epidemic was just lifted Get on the bus from Hankyu Umeda Station and get off at Karasuma Station. First go to Nishiki Market for brunch. After that, take the bus to Okazaki Shrine, take the bus to Kinkakuji Temple, take the bus to Okane Shrine, and finally walk back to Hankyu Electric Railway Return to Osaka. Okazaki Shrine and Kinkakuji Temple are attractions that I didn’t have time to visit when I came to Kyoto many years ago. This time I want to make up for the regret! ! 【Nishiki Market】 There are not many people and it is very comfortable to walk around. You can eat a lot of delicious food here. We ate a lot, including croquettes, eels, grilled seafood, strawberry daifuku, grilled shrimps, tamagoyaki, strawberry milkshakes and ice cream. We also bought I ordered small pastries similar to chicken cakes to eat on the road. When I look back at these actual photos, when I see the grilled seafood, I think it’s very salty! ! 【Okazaki Shrine】 The shrine's divine envoy is a rabbit, so there are rabbit statues, so it has a special name "Rabbit Shrine". It is said that it is very effective in praying for marriage, safe delivery and pregnancy. The lottery is in the shape of a rabbit. Of course, you should buy one and take it home. 【Kinkakuji Temple】 The official name is "Luyuan Temple", and the ticket is very special with a blessing seal printed on it. The Kinkakuji Temple is really breathtakingly beautiful. The way the glittering golden relic hall is reflected in Jinghu Pond is really beautiful. I hope to have the opportunity to see the Kinkakuji Temple covered with snow when it snows in the future. 【Gogan Shrine】 It is located in an alley, quite small. When I went there, almost all the people were locals. The torii gate at the door was really shining with gold. After paying homage, I bought a small guardian.

When visiting Kyoto, besides Kiyomizu-dera, Gion, and wearing a kimono, you should definitely visit the Nishiki Market area. There's so much to see that you might not be able to finish in one day.😅 There are traditional buildings and old shops, but turn a corner and you'll find trendy stores. Of course, there are also capsule toy machines and claw machines.🤣 Along the way, there are numerous snacks and eateries. The market is now covered, so you don't have to worry about the sun or rain. Highly recommended - Nishiki Market.👍🏻 Nearby, there are many places to eat. We chose a restaurant specializing in snow crabs🦀, and it's all-you-can-eat. You can choose from Red King Crab🦀, Snow Crab🦀, Red Snow Crab🦀, and sushi🍣. The taste isn't the best, but the crab legs are really meaty and very tempting.☺️ 🚄 Nishiki Market Transportation: - Kyoto Subway to 'Shijo Station', about a 5-minute walk - Hankyu Kyoto Line to 'Karasuma Station' / 'Kyoto-Kawaramachi Station', about a 4-minute walk - Kyoto City Bus to 'Shijo Kawaramachi Station', about a 4-minute walk 🦀 Kani Gin Snow Crab Address: 5F, Kawaramachi DECK by COAST, 291 Naraya-cho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture

Save this guide for your next trip to Kyoto in Japan! 📍 Arashiyama Bamboo Forest ~ take the metro 30 minutes to the West of Kyoto to Arashiyama. Arrive early to avoid the crowds in this peaceful forest. 📍 Kiyomizu-dera ~ potentially the most iconic shrine and temple in the city. With vibrant vermilion buildings and a beautiful view of the city, this shrine and the surrounding area is usually very busy. 📍 Nishiki Market ~ a long path that runs through the city, perfect for a rainy day. Here you can find freshly caught fish, bustling local restaurants and many souvenir shops. 📍 Engine Ramen ~ maybe I'm biased, but this is the best ramen I've ever eaten in my life. I went here more than 10 times during my stay in Kyoto and I think about it every day since I left. 📍 To-ji ~ this shrine has a tall wooden pagoda and can be seen from the paths nearby. Just a short walk down the hill from Kiyomizu-dera, be sure to take many photos of this incredible piece of history! #japan #japantrip #kyoto #kyototrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #summerdestinations

Nishiki Market is a must-visit market in Kyoto. Visitors can buy all sorts of different Japanese food and snacks. We first went late in the evening and were disappointed that most shops were already closed by 7pm, so we went back on our last day in Kyoto around noon, and the street was packed with people. We tried some tempura, pickled cucumbers, and bought some Japanese honey and herbal teas. The red, green, yellow roof indicates food street, and the white roof indicates shopping streets. #timetotravel #japan #kyoto #nishikimarket

Nishiki market is a very bustling street with many shops and restaurants. You can find all kinds of shops here, from shop selling knife to shop selling kimono, souvenirs and chopsticks. The street is also lined with many restaurants so you won’t go hungry here. Coming here in the early morning or late afternoon as it can get very crowded after 11am and it is hard to walk in the narrow street. #kyoto #japan #tripblazers

Kyoto's Nishiki Market is a culinary paradise! From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the incredible variety of food offerings. The bustling stalls presented a delightful assortment of local delicacies and flavors that left me in awe. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the fresh seafood. The stalls lined with vibrant seafood, from succulent sashimi to perfectly grilled skewers, showcased the region's maritime bounty. The taste was simply unparalleled – a testament to the market's commitment to quality. But Nishiki Market isn't just about seafood. The market's vibrant energy was palpable as I explored the narrow alleyways, discovering unique street foods that tempted my taste buds. I couldn't resist trying the mouthwatering takoyaki, its crispy exterior giving way to a tender and flavorful center. And the aroma of freshly fried tempura was irresistible – a true feast for the senses. One cannot overlook the variety of pickled vegetables and local Kyoto snacks that adorned the stalls. The umami-packed tsukemono (pickles) added a delightful tang to the experience, and the assortment of mochi-based treats provided a sweet contrast to the savory delights. There was even a Snoopy' souvenir store with many cute snoppy snacks and items!!!!! While Nishiki Market is undoubtedly a food lover's paradise, it's also a cultural immersion. The interactions with the friendly vendors, who passionately shared stories about their offerings, added a personal touch that made the experience even more memorable. In conclusion, Nishiki Market is a gastronomic journey that shouldn't be missed. The market's kaleidoscope of flavors, the warmth of the people, and the authentic cultural experience all come together to create an unforgettable adventure for food enthusiasts and travelers alike.

📍Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8055 Japan A lot of people are traveling to Osaka these days, right?! Kyoto is a must-visit course when traveling to Osaka! Kyoto is a place where the countryside and the city coexist, so it's one of the places that I think has a really good atmosphere. It wasn't my first time traveling to Kyoto, so I was thinking about where to go, and since I like to go to the market, I went to Nishiki Market near the station! Since it's the best market in Kyoto where many foreigners visit, the prices weren't cheap, and I had a meal inside, but it wasn't that fresh or delicious🥲 I don't plan on visiting again, but I recommend you visit at least once and have a snack while looking around🤍 #OsakaTravel #KyotoTravel #MyPick #HotPlace

Nishiki Market is a long market on the Gion Street side. It is a representative market of Kyoto with a long history, and is currently a popular tourist destination. There are many foreigners, and there are places that make and sell sashimi and sushi right there :) There are also restaurants, so you can get a meal. Yakanago Maruyata (焼きあなご まるやた), a conger eel specialty store, is also worth a visit! I bought octopus and oden skewers! The price was about 5,000 won per skewer, and 20,000 won for four ^^ But there are a lot of things to eat! I think it would be good to go shopping before going to your accommodation. However, please note that most of the stores close at 6 o'clock! #RestaurantExploration #NishikiMarket #KyotoMarket #TraditionalMarket Address: Nakauoyacho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto 604-8054 Kyoto Prefecture

#JapanAttractions #JapanTravel #JapanFreeTravel #JapaneseFood #Kyoto #KyotoSpecialties This time we will introduce one of the most must-see attractions in Kyoto, which is Nishiki Market located in Shijo Kawaramachi. It is about a 3-4 minute walk from Karasuma Station or Kyoto Kawaramachi Station. It takes less than ten minutes to walk from the beginning to the end of the market without stopping, so it is not very big, but it has everything you want.

Anyway, if you want to visit Kyoto, Nishiki Market is a great place you definitely cannot miss. 👍👍👍

Nishiki Market is probably the best plan for adventurous travellers visiting Kyoto. It is Kyoto’s largest traditional food market and the location is quite convenient as it is in the hearth of the city's down town. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. I highly recommend a stroll in this market. The market is huge and offers infinite options. Make sure you are not in a hurry and bring an empty stomach to enjoy all the street-food. It is open to the public until 5:00 PM but some food stalls close later. #createwithtrip #japan #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

The Nishiki Market comes with a long history of selling the greatest produce of Kyoto. Since 1615, the market has been the official place for trading the delicacies of Kyoto, as such earning the good name as “Kyoto’s kitchen.” It has run for centuries, therefore it is, properly considered, a historical heritage embodying both the tangible goodies for sale there and the intangible cuisine that originates from the abundance and variety of ingredients at the market. At its very beginning, Nishiki Market was a market for wholesale seafood trade. By now, it has fully developed itself into an all-things-food-related theme. Spanning a total of five blocks of narrow streets, the market now features more than 130 stores. The Nishiki Market is exceedingly photogenic for photographers. The Japanese people are known for their expert arrangements in all kinds, from rock gardens to tea ceremony, to flowers and gifts, and to shopkeeping. The ways that these shops are set up are themselves a marvel to behold. I also found the general color theme there to express a classic autumn vibe, in a warm, solid chestnut hue. Be sure to also visit the Samurai Museum and the Tenmangu Shrine at the Nishiki Market. #nishikimarket #japanesefood #foodie #japaneseheritage #japanesehistory #seafood #seafoodmarket #japanesesnacks #japanesestores #kyoto #japan #kansai
