Nishiki Market 錦市場
Nishiki market is a five block long narrow shopping street lined by more than one hundred shops and restaurants.This is definitely a place where you can stuff yourself with fresh cheap food.
omg~ look at these prices!
lol fresh from fruits itself
Then we saw this warabi mochi which we have been searching since we first tried at Isetan Japanese food fare years ago!
We went back to buy a few packets thinking to bring back to Singapore. We finished it within two days. =x
look at the gigantic omurice lol
super cute donuts from Floresta
After dinner, we strolled to Pontocho area which was just a few streets away.
Pontocho area 先斗町
In front of us was a long stretch of small restaurants offering a wide range of dining options from inexpensive yakitori to expensive traditional and modern Kyoto cuisine. We did not have a chance to try one of the restaurants because they all looked very expensive.
So we took a stroll to experience the atmosphere. *cheapskate*
Pretty view at dusk when the lighting was on.
Hi, how do you walk from Nishiki market to pontocho? TIA! :)
