You'll meet your local English-speaking guide at a central meeting spot to embark on a small-group Kyoto walking tour that will delight your senses.

During your guided walk of the mile-long Nishiki covered food markets, there are many interesting food stores to explore as you help your guide buy the ingredients for your Japanese cooking class. This is a great opportunity to learn about local Japanese produce.
