Although more compact in size, the Kyoto Oroshiuri Ichiba is still a bustling & exciting market --view the freshly caught fish displayed in a row, buyers scrambling to get the best catch of the day, and more! There is also an area for seasonal fruits, and kyo-kasai (Kyoto-grown vegetables) in addition to food stalls and restaurants.
