Take a sip of sake, taste their beer, enjoy their tasty seafood and finish with a wide offer of sweets. Some people consider it a Tourist trap, but if its your first time here you can take a close look to a wide variety of their culinary offer. Visit the site and decide for yourself, I enjoyed being trapped here.

Departing Tokyo, the next stop for our family in Japan was Kyoto. Our guide Thomas got us off to a fantastic start there with our late morning experience in the “kitchen of Kyoto,” Nishiki Market. He expertly navigated us through a crowded market to sample one delicious item after another, all the while providing great context and background for what we were seeing and trying. He delighted not only us parents but also our two boys and kept them engaged throughout the tour. Some of the highest praise we can give is that we were all so absorbed and enjoying the tour that three hours flew by before we knew it! A third great experience with Arigato on our Japan trip. Thanks Thomas for getting our Kyoto adventure off to such a great start!

Our guide Mickey was super friendly, and did such a good job finding good vegetarian options for us to enjoy during the tour. She was also very considerate of me being pregnant. We were very surprised and impressed to learn that she has lived 3 years in Oslo and still speaks some Norwegian. The group was quite small, which made it easy to be social with everyone, and we really enjoyed exploring the nishiki market together. Thank you for a great tour!

Our guide Sae was amazing! We had a great experience trying all sorts of different and interesting foods, and along the way Sae throughly and engagingly explained everything about the market and the food we were sampling. She was so happy to share her extensive knowledge and was very patient with our (very) tired children. We would highly recommend Sae to anyone visiting Kyoto!

My family and I had an amazing flavours experience at Kyoto Nishiki Food Market this week. Sae, our tour guide, was very professional, curteous, patient and very knowledgeable. As a local, she had many insights and made recommendations based on our interests. She introduced us to various traditional foods, savory or sweets, spices and ingredients, that otherwise would not have appealed to our pallate. It was an enlightening nourishment experience! Thank you, Sae!
