Once again we started with a train ride into Kyoto and then the subway to Shijo station and walked past a huge Daimaru store and reached Nishiki market - a long covered street selling mostly food, a large proportion of which was fish presented in a variety of ways. Near by was a tailors shop selling heaps of fabrics but I did not buy any.
Wyn and I found the bus back to Kyoto station. where we sat down to lunch and got talking to the women on both of the adjoining tables and despite the limited common language we were soon swapping small gifts including a crocheted Chrysanthemum brooch and a little patchwork purse.
Shucking clamshells
Fish of some sort
Variety of teacups
1930s Harley Davidson was a change from fish
Not sure what sort of biscuits are being made.
A little Japanese garden near the market
Sign on the footpath
Heritage?
