Shopping at local farmers' markets and supermarkets is always fun! We can introduce you to quite a few farmers' markets and vegetable stands in this area where you can pick the freshest veggies which you can find only in Kyoto. Rides are free of charge (up to 3 guests).

As local people are shy, but hoping to communicate with tourists from overseas, if you ask a simple question, they will be so happy to have a little chat with you!
