What you can expect

  • Explore Nishiki Market with your local Japanese guide, followed by a cooking class. It only takes 15 minutes to walk through this historical food market if you do not have anyone to explain about its history, custom and foods, but if you have someone who is knowledgeable about the market, you can easily spend hours. You can ask your guide questions about foods you may not have seen before and even ask shop staff, with your guide helping to translate.

    What makes this private tour unique is that you can cook your own donburi (bowl) meal with ingredients you bought during the tour. The cost of ingredients is included. You can choose from three options; Kaisen-don (seafood), Ten-don (tempura) or Oyako-don (chicken & egg).

    The tour starts from the Nishiki Market Western entrance. You will be briefed about the tour then you will start the tour. Typically you should spend about 1 hour in the Nishiki Market and later you cook and eat your own donburi in 1 hour.

    The tour is private, so you can ask as many questions as you have, and it moves at your pace.
