Known as Kyoto's Kitchen, this market is a vibrant spot with lots of souvenirs and street food. It's a great place to explore and try different local treats.
Nishiki Market, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8055, Japan
- Taiyaki (Premium Custard) · ¥? — A fish-shaped pancake with a sweet custard filling. The pancake is super fluffy, but the custard is different from what I'm used to – it's not as creamy and quite sweet. I'd give it a 5 out of 10, but a little sprinkle of salt definitely brings it up to a 6.
- Mitarashi Dango · ¥? — Soft, chewy glutinous rice dumplings covered in a sweet, thick sauce made from sugar and soy sauce. It's a really interesting sweet and savory combo. It might be an acquired taste, but I really warmed up to it after a few bites.

Hanami Koji Street
Kyoto
Creator's voice
Considered one of Japan's most beautiful streets, lined with traditional wooden houses and tea houses. It's a popular area, so be mindful of tourism rules, especially when going into private areas. This is also where you might find geishas, though it's quite touristy now.

- Premium Roasted Matcha Latte · ¥? — This latte has a definite roasted flavor, which is intense but really good. It has less of a grassy taste than regular matcha and a nutty flavor. While I still prefer regular matcha, this is a delicious alternative.

Rinsing hands at Kiyomizu-dera
At Kiyomizu-dera, you can participate in the traditional hand-rinsing ritual. It's a sacred practice, so make sure to follow the customs. It's a small but meaningful part of visiting the temple.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Buddhist temple · Kyoto

A massive and beautiful Buddhist temple with over 1,600 temples in the area. The main hall is apparently built without any nails, which is mind-blowing. It offers stunning views overlooking the city and surrounding nature. Entry requires a ticket, but you can still enjoy the surrounding atmosphere and views from outside without paying.
Kiyomizu-dera, 1 Chome-294 Kiyomizu, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, 605-0862, Japan
View from Kiyomizu-dera — The iconic view overlooking the city and the temple's main hall. This is the view that often appears in Google searches and is a primary reason to visit. It's absolutely stunning, especially from the ticketing area.
