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.
