Description

First, let's explore the expansive and delicious Nishiki Market, known as the "Kitchen of Kyoto," with a history spanning 400 years. With over 100 shops lining its streets, you'll experience the rich culinary culture of Japan. Wander through the market with our guide and immerse yourself in Japanese food, culture, and history.

Next, we'll take you to a museum to delve deeper into the world of samurai and ninja. Marvel at the exhibits showcasing armor and Japanese swords actually used in the Sengoku period! We also offer experiences like shuriken throwing, a weapon of the ninja, ensuring you'll create wonderful memories during your time in Japan.

With admission tickets to the Samurai and Ninja Museum included, you can enjoy a detailed guided explanation within the museum. The exhibition also features a substantial collection of armor and helmets that were actually used.

At Nishiki Tenmangu Shrine, let's learn about the proper way to visit a shrine. Ema, wooden plaques where wishes are written, are believed to make wishes come true. Every year during the exam season, students write down their desired schools, which has become famous.

As part of the ninja experience, there's also a target throwing game using ninja weapons like shuriken. Who will emerge as the champion?

Nishiki Market offers a variety of fresh seafood and various foods for sale. Just looking around can be enjoyable. Every day, it bustles with crowds of tourists like a festival. Why not enjoy fresh seafood at reasonable prices? Pickles, known as "o-tsumami," are a unique part of Japanese culinary culture. They may have a strong smell and be challenging to eat at first, but why not give them a try?

Ninjas are often portrayed as warriors in movies and anime, leading to a strong association with combat. However, their primary purpose was actually to serve as strategists for maintaining peace, and it is said that they rarely engaged in fights using weapons like shuriken. The hairstyle known as the "mage," a symbol of the samurai, actually has 12 different variations, each corresponding to different ranks. Samurai were warriors who served noble or royal figures, such as aristocrats and members of the imperial family. This means that samurai were of a higher rank compared to other types of warriors, such as ronin, ashigaru, or wandering mercenaries, who did not serve a specific master.
