Japan Travelogue P5 - Nishiiki Market

It took us awhile to find this market. Hidden in one of the streets of Pontocho, this market is buzzing with life!

A market in a modern city...and so it became an attraction for most tourist. Regardless of the timing, its always crowded. We walked there from Gion and only arrived at around 4pm but its still super crowded.
