Whenever I come to Kyoto, I always think of taking a stroll through Nishiki Market~ Known as “Kyoto's Kitchen,” it's packed with all kinds of Kyoto foods and long-established shops. It's really fun to browse, eat, and shop as you go. Besides all kinds of Kyoto-style pickles, you can also find dashi tamagoyaki from Nishiki Hirano, tamagoyaki from Miki Keiran, and fresh seafood from Nishiki Uoriki. If you like pickles, don't miss long-established shops such as Nishiri and Masugo. The colorful varieties of Kyoto pickles have flavors that are also very distinctive of Kyoto. Along the way, you can also pick up popular snacks such as soy milk donuts, takoyaki, and matcha sweets. There's a new surprise every few steps. If you want to experience Kyoto's everyday side, Nishiki Market is the place to go!

Setouchi Area Pass
The Setouchi region is beloved by both domestic and international travelers for its diverse range of attractions-picturesque landscapes created by nature, historic sites, and the lively atmosphere of bustling cities. With famous landmarks scattered across the area, there’s no shortage of sights to see, making it a destination worth exploring at a relaxed pace.
The Setouchi Area Pass is suitable for planning a cross-regional trip covering Kyushu and the Setouchi Triennale. For 7 days, it can be used on the Sanyo Shinkansen, JR limited express trains, and some ferries. If traveling from Fukuoka and Hakata to Okayama and Takamatsu, then continuing on to art islands such as Naoshima and Teshima, the pass offers more value when your trip involves a lot of long-distance travel. However, not all transportation within Kyushu is covered, so pay close attention to the coverage area when planning your route.
