The tour will take you through three iconic locations: Nishiki Market, Kiyamachi Street, and Kyoto's Gion District, where you'll experience a variety of local delicacies, sweets, and sake.
The guide will pivot based on any customer preferences (e.g., vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, or seafood restrictions, etc.).
Nishiki Market: Known as Kyoto's kitchen, a labyrinth of stalls where the flavors of the region unfold in vibrant displays of fresh produce, pickles, and savory bites.
Kiyamachi Street: A picturesque avenue lined with traditional teahouses and modern eateries, where the past and present merge over cups of matcha and tempura.
Kyoto's Gion District: A step back in time, where lantern-lit streets and the aroma of delicate sweets and sake evoke the elegance of Kyoto’s geisha culture.
