Must do tour! - Yoshiro was amazing! Super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He showed us some really amazing spots in the market and made sure we were having a good time. Had we gone to the market alone it would've been overwhelming, the tour made it so much easier and enjoyable.

Nishiki Market - Ayuri was a wonderful tour guide, very patient and knowledgeable. Super friendly as she took us to enjoy some tasty treats in the Nishiki market that ended with a yummy lunch. Just a point to note please don’t come to the tour having not eaten anything. The main meal is actually closer to noon ie end of tour. Only get small samples during the tour
