Atsu guided our group of five into the market, welcoming us with smiling warmth and introducing us to new foods in several restaurants. Atsu explained the menu for the tour, and everything we tried was delicious. We especially appreciated his conversation about the Nishiki market’s history, and that he showed us the traditions in the shrines and temples. Atsu gave us recommendations of his favorite places, besides the places we visited during the tour. Atsu’s English was very good, and we enjoyed the relaxed pace of our tour. Ending at the Takashimaya shopping center allowed us to continue walking and enjoying the many beautiful products offered at Takashimaya after we said goodbye to Atsu. Thank you Atsu!
