Kyoto 市场之旅(4)

The market was amazing and we tasted many items we would have been reluctant to taste without Akiko our friendly and fun guide. The mix of local foods and some of their importance was wonderful to understand. Akiko was a great guide.

Atsu guided our group of five into the market, welcoming us with smiling warmth and introducing us to new foods in several restaurants. Atsu explained the menu for the tour, and everything we tried was delicious. We especially appreciated his conversation about the Nishiki market’s history, and that he showed us the traditions in the shrines and temples. Atsu gave us recommendations of his favorite places, besides the places we visited during the tour. Atsu’s English was very good, and we enjoyed the relaxed pace of our tour. Ending at the Takashimaya shopping center allowed us to continue walking and enjoying the many beautiful products offered at Takashimaya after we said goodbye to Atsu. Thank you Atsu!

Ayu was an amazing tour guide. I recommend her for anyone looking to learn about Kyoto and its culture and food scene.

Loved the tour Miho explained everything very well Good and stops were great Loved the experience

Fun way to experience the market and try some new foods. Having visited markets in Tokyo and Osaka prior, we didn’t expect to be surprised but our guide catered the tour to our taste/experience and we had a great time.
