Nishiki Market and Nishiki Tenmangu

錦市場: Tourist Attractions near Ramen Uroko Kyoto Sanjo

To walk along a 390-meter-long market street is to walk through 400-year-long history of the street.

There are about 130 shops on the street that sell seafood, fresh food, processed food, and Kyoto specialties. Some shops sell a small portion of their specialties, which is enjoyable and also helps you to find your favorite one.

Not only do they visually entertain you, but you will notice a variety of pleasant smell. Some of the food may not look familiar to you. Do you wonder what the heck they are? Try it anyways!

錦天満宮: Nishiki Tenmangu

At the east end of the Nishiki Market, you will find a Torii gate and lines of paper lanterns. That is Nishiki Tenmangu. You will find that new and old coexist in Kyoto; the holly place is surrounded by concrete buildings, but still embraces the town.

The lines of paper lanterns show that the shrine is loved and supported by the shops and restaurants in the town; every lantern bears name of a supporter.

To make a long story short, this shrine was built to worship Sugawara Michizane, who was a scholar and also a politician in the Heian period. To make another long story short, he was often associated with bulls. Visitors rub the statue of bull for good fortune. This is why the statue is always polished.
