Kyoto Market Walking Guide: A Complete Guide to Handicrafts, Antiques, and Pottery Markets

Those who travel to Japan, if they have the habit of going to the night market to eat and drink at night, I believe they will be particularly lonely at night in Japan, and they can only find convenience stores, izakayas or ramen streets to fill their stomachs.After all, Japan is not Taiwan or Thailand. There will be night markets to visit. At this time, you may wish to adjust your travel schedule and get up early to visit the morning market or market in Japan.

Fun, good shopping, good shopping in Kyoto market

The temples and trees in Kyoto City are as numerous as the stars and are quite diverse, making the markets that depend on the buildings and greenery more prosperous. It can be said to be the most market place in Japan. People who go to Kyoto freely travel. You should also consider visiting the market in your itinerary. You can also visit nearby temples and parks while visiting the market. As long as you pay attention to the date of the market, the itinerary and traffic will be quite smooth.

Because there are quite a lot of hand-made, antiques, pottery and second-hand markets, most of them are held regularly every year and every month, so if the trip to Kyoto has more than 6 days, you can always arrange an itinerary to visit the market, I believe it will make My own itinerary is more interesting.Of course, each market will be specially marked with "Rainy Days". If there is a rainy day, then you can only say that you have no luck!

Handmade market

The hand-made market mainly displays and sells handmade daily groceries and food. The average age of the market and the market is relatively young, and there are fewer stalls to eat and drink. Most of them are handmade foods such as biscuits and cakes. Hot food It's even rarer. It's best to fill up your stomach first, and then take a leisurely stroll to the hand-made market.

Large-scale hand-made markets in the Kyoto area are usually held on a monthly basis. There are high chances of encounters during the travel itinerary. The hand-made markets are mostly located in parks, shrines and other shade-covered places, as close to nature, The outing trip in the outskirts can be arranged, and you can go to the market and outing, which can be regarded as a quite leisurely trip.

You can walk and eat while shopping and buy it. It is a way of going to the night market.

The antique market is held regularly every month, and most of the locations are selected in the temple area.

Comprehensive and characteristic bazaar

The Kyoto market is just like the development of night markets in Southeast Asia. Most of them are attached to temples, green shades or near campuses. Well-known temples are usually crowded with people on weekdays, and it is usually easier to have large-scale markets.However, some temples with relatively sparse crowds will also strive to develop their own bazaars, which may not be large enough, but they may also develop their own community-based features.

Of course, the difficulty of operating a small market is always higher. If it is not held regularly or suddenly put away, it is not too surprising.Remember to check the official website of each market before going to the market, or refer to the Google market calendar compiled by the Kyoto Cultural Promotion Committee. If you have the opportunity or are lucky, you may also encounter a small market and try your luck. Dig for treasure!
