The Nishiki Market
In the absolute downtown of Kyoto, you’ll find the fantastic Nishiki Market.
The market stretches over one long covered street and is THE place to
find Japanese specialties: sweet and crispy Nashi pears, hundreds of
different kinds of traditional Japanese pickles, fish, meat, teas and
cookies – the supply seems endless. There are plenty of stalls offering
delicious and freshly made fast-food and the stall owners are generous
with tasting samples.
The area is also worth a visit for just a stroll to look at new and old, shops etc.
The recommendation has been selected by Lars Vejen who is Design Manager at Danish architects schmidt hammer lassen.
Lars Vejen first time went to Kyoto as a young architect student and
has visited the city several times since then and also taught at the
Tottori University of Environmental Studies. He recommends visiting Kyoto in spring or autumn.
