I walked Kyoto's Nishiki Market: is it the latest Tourist Trap in 2025?

Is Kyoto’s Nishiki Market a tourist trap in 2025? I walk through Kyoto’s famous Nishiki Market, tasting street food, exploring shops, and asking if rising prices have turned it into a rip-off for tourists. From skewers to sweets, I’m shocked at some of the costs, sometimes even feeling ripped off, but the atmosphere is still incredible.

Kyoto’s Nishiki Market has changed over the years, once a traditional food hub for locals, it’s now more tourist-focused. I’ll share what’s still worth it, what feels overpriced, and whether you should add Nishiki Market to your Kyoto itinerary.

📍 What you’ll see in this video:
– Walking the full Nishiki Market arcade
– Trying different Japanese street food
– Talking about prices and value for money
– The ambience and cultural vibe of Kyoto’s kitchen

Hopefully you can decide if Nishiki is worth visiting.

If you’re planning a Japan trip, this guide to Nishiki Market will help you decide if it’s worth visiting or if it’s just another tourist trap in Kyoto.
