自転車で京都錦市場へActually, cycling Nishiki Market is a really bad idea (unless it is very late at night and only stray cats are out and about).
The narrow, covered arcade is lined on both sides with stalls and stores and - during store hours - thronged with shoppers.
It is the "kitchen" of Kyoto, and a great place to visit to see local produce, sweets, sake, pickles, sushi, and handmade products.
Nishiki Market is a five-block long nibble. All of the stores have samples out front, and it is impossible to walk far without tasting something.
For those visiting on a bicycle, a better option is to park and walk.
Several bicycle lots are nearby.
Information
The street Nishiki Market is on is parallel to Shijo Avenue, and runs east-west. It is one block north of Shijo Street. For those on foot, go out the south exit of the Daimaru Department Store and turn right (east).
