Neighborhood: Shinkyogoku Shopping District

Those who delight in shopping and cuisine will find themselves at home in Shinkyogoku. Lauded and visited by locals for its Nishiki Market, where baskets of fragrant spices, dried fish, and just-fried foods are piled high along the snaking streets of its enclosed outdoor shopping spaces, Shinkyogoku is not only a hub for fresh fare, but also for fast fashion fixes. Trends-in-the-making can be spotted in the tall windows of several one-of-a-kind stores featuring local labels and modish boutiques. Arcades, outdoor concert spaces, mega department stores, and small, enchanting cafes have sprung up to accommodate the increasing traffic. Whether looking for souvenirs and kitsch on Shinkyogoku Street, or scoping out the massive food court and restaurant floor at Takashimaya Department store, there's something for every wallet or purse, and a buyer for every item.

Nice to see at night

Apr 2019 • Couples

In the evening with the sunset this place is romantic also because it has a lot of lanterns that turn on.

During the Gion Festival, three portable shrines with gods enshrined in them are carried from Yasaka Shrine for one week. This ritual, held on the 17th, is called the "Shinkosai/Mikoshi Togyo" and the shrine is returned to Yasaka Shrine on the 24th, which is called the "Kankosai."
