Went for the Nishiki food market tour with Mika san. Started off at Daimaru Kyoto, and the basement food hall itself was a revelation! Packed with great Japanese food. Then we headed to the Nishiki market and Mika San pointed out lots of different things to us. It was quite informative and engaging tour. The food we ate was delicious, some local delicacies too, that I had not had in Tokyo. Had a great time at the tour. Mika San was warm and friendly and spoke good English. Recommended for anyone who wants to explore the local food scene!

My family and I had a wonderful tour with Akiko through the Nishiki Market and Gion. Akiko was a wealth of knowledge. She taught us about new foods and taught us many things unique to Japanese culture. The food tour was a perfect length. We stopped at so many wonderful stalls in the Nishiki Market. Akiko handled purchasing the foods for us, and then explained what each item was. She even ensured that those with restrictions could still enjoy something at each stall. After the food tour, we walked to Gion, where Akiko explained the history of Geisha's in Kyoto. The experience was all very enlightening and we are still talking about it, today!
