Overview

Starting from the Starbucks Kyoto Sanjo Karasuma Building, we will visit a series of iconic Kyoto landmarks, beginning with a peaceful visit to Rokkakudo Temple. From there, we will head to Yaoyaichi, a local market that showcases Kyoto’s seasonal produce and unique ingredients. Along the way, you’ll explore the bustling Daimaru Department Store's basement, where you can experience the offerings of Kyoto’s gourmet scene. Then, we will wander through Nishiki Market, famously known as “Kyoto’s Kitchen,” where diverse and flavorful goods await. At Yaoyaichi, Daimaru, and Nishiki Market, you’ll have the opportunity to sample 6-10 different items. Finally, we will conclude the tour at the serene Nishiki Tenmangu Shrine.
