Review of Kyoto’s Nishiki Market brunch tour, with seven tastings, Gion sights, a small group, brunch, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“The first half was spent walking to Nishiki Market. It was interesting but we had heard much of this information already from other tours. Nishiki market was fun, but very crowded. We spent about 45 minutes there and then had lunch at a restaurant outside the market. Good tour but not all Nishiki market.”
Explore Tsukiji Outer Market with fresh seafood, local snacks, sushi lunch, shrines, and a small group guide in three tasty hours.
“In the tour description it still says “See where tons of fish and seafood are traded every day” but that part of the market moved in 2020! A bit disappointing but otherwise the tour guide and walk around the were great.”
