"A fun marketplace where you can find a variety of food stalls and shops, most with locally sourced products.
Please note that it's considered rude to walk and eat at the same time - even if you get food from a stall, stand to the side to eat rather than continuing on through the market.
Admission: Free, just whatever your food costs :)"
Ryanne Dean
"The emphasis is on locally produced Japanese food items like tsukemono, tea, beans, rice, seaweed and fish. In recent years the market has been evolving from a strictly local food market into a tourist attraction, and you'll now find several souvenir shops selling Kyoto-style souvenirs mixed in among the food stalls."
