Founded in 1615, Nishiki Market is the oldest food market in Kyoto. Located one block north of Sijyo Street (4th Street) and Fujii Daimaru, you can enjoy over 100 small stores which sell fresh vegetables, seafood, meat, sweets, Japanese teas, etc. There is also a world famous Japanese knife store, Aritsugu with over 450 years of heritage. In Kyoto, there are so many stores which have been around for several centuries, and for Kyoto locals, a shop with 200 years of history is still considered young.
