[Japan] 京都，中京區，錦市場 (Nishiki Market)

從關西機場搭乘 Haruka 列車來到京都，其時也三點半多，再加上 Check-in 耗去一點時間，可以出門走走時也下午四點鐘了，決定就散步去京都的廚房─錦市場逛逛，雖然我們已知這兒的店家，有許多的營業時間都只到下午五點 (早上九點開門)；到了商店街門口才發現，人還不少。
When we arrived Kyoto, it's already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. So we decide to walk to the Nishiki Market as an easy tour. The Nishiki Market is a marketplace in downtown Kyoto. Many people says it's the kitchen of Kyoto. Although most of the stores only opened from 9:00 to 17:00, there are still many people there.

逛一圈下來發現，這兒有不少店家在販售醃漬醬菜，也可看到日本的太太採買，自己推測，這應該才是此地被稱為京都廚房的原因，畢竟醬菜是日本人餐桌上很重要的一環，只是對觀光客來說，其實吸引力就沒那麼大了，若想買生鮮類的食材，可能還是去黑門市場更好。
Many stores here sells pickles, and you can find many Japanese came to buy it. For a tourist, I guess not many people may want to try it. We just look around.

 

這裡有家幾乎是我看過有介紹錦市場的部落客都會介紹的名店，三木雞卵，專門販售玉子燒的名店，我們不免俗地也買了一條小份的，日幣 480 元，很好吃，軟嫰香滑，帶點微微甜味，很棒。
Here is a famous Tamagoyaki store, Miki Keiran. Most bloggers may mentioned about this store when he/she visits Nishiki Market. We also buy one, it's really good. Hot, soft and a little bit sweet, not too much, delicious.

 錦之水，經政府認定，可生飲的神水。

(The water of Nishiki, it's OK to drink.)

 這次我發現有許多景點都有提供印章讓人收集風景戳印，如果有人想收集，記得帶本厚筆記本來。

(This time, I found many places provide the stamps. If you want to collect them, you may need a big notebook.)

在整個錦市場區的中心，是錦天滿宮，天滿宮在錦的分神，祭祀的是學問之神菅原道真，想要考試考得好，來這兒就對了！
At the middle of Nishiki Market, it's the Nishiki Tenman-gū. Tenman-gū is a Shinto shrine which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane as Tenjin. He is the god of learning. If you want to get good grade at school, just come here.
門口那隻亮晶晶的神牛，相傳只要摸一下，就能讓人長智慧，每人都摸一下的結果，就是亮得發光囉～
Because he is the god of learning, people says when you pet the bull in the Tenman-gū, you will be wised. That's why it's so bright. 

這兒另外應該還有祭祀其他神明，只是沒有介紹，就只有照片了。
Below are others also in the Nishiki Tenman-gū.
