Nishiki Market is narrow and clogs up by midday, which is where a private guide earns their keep, steering you to the right stalls before the crush. Several of these add a cooking class or a sake tasting, turning a market walk into lunch.
Tour Nishiki Market with a local guide, choose ingredients, then make a Kyoto-style donburi in a hands-on cooking class.
