Do you want to experience Japanese language lesson in English and use the tips at the worldly famous "Kitchen of Kyoto"?
I am both an experienced interpreter and a qualified Japanese language teacher. I love speaking English and Japanese languages more than anybody in Japan.
This tour is unique because I teach you Japanese (Absolute beginner level) in English for 1 hour and then show you around NIshiki Market.
During the tour at the gorgeous market, you can immerse in the vitality of its breathtaking world of amazing local food, handcrafts, the shrine, etc., speaking tips of Japanese to the shop staff and other local people.
Nishiki Market is a five-block sensory explosion that has been the beating heart of Kyoto’s food scene for over 400 years! This isn't just a place to shop; it's a vibrant, bustling tunnel of flavor where the air is thick with the aroma of toasted sesame, grilled seafood, and sweet soy glaze.
I'm looking forward to meeting with people from all over the world!

Nishiki Market Shopping District (Pass by)
Why everybody across the globe will Love Nishiki Market? Every stall is a masterclass in presentation! The Ultimate Snack Crawl: Forget a sit-down lunch! This is the place to graze. Try the famous Tako Tamago (a baby octopus with a quail egg inside), fresh Sashimi skewers, or fluffy Dashimaki Tamago (Japanese omelet) served piping hot. Authentic Kyoto Soul: Nishiki is famous for Kyo-yasai (unique Kyoto vegetables) and traditional ingredients you won't find anywhere else. It’s where the city’s top chefs come to source their secret weapons. Hidden Treasures: Beyond the food, you’ll find handcrafted Aritsugu knives (legendary blades used by master chefs) and beautiful ceramic shops tucked between the stalls.
