Hishio Gomino Ichiba Market and Kaki-Oka: A Seto Inland Sea Culinary Walk

Hishio (日生) in Bizen City, facing the Seto Inland Sea, is a port town known for fresh seafood and the local specialty Kaki-Oka. In the morning, take a stroll through Gomino Ichiba (五味の市), the fish market operated by the local cooperative, admiring the fresh catch. From Minato no Mieru Oka Park atop Tatekoshi-yama, take in the spectacular multi-island vista of Hishio Port and the Hishio Islands, then head to a perennially crowded popular restaurant for lunch where you'll enjoy Kaki-Oka heaping with plump oysters. In the afternoon, relax at the BIZEN Museum of Pre-Columbian Art with its unexpected cultural offerings in this port town, and end your day at Michi no Eki Kuroiyama Green Park along the Okayama Blue Line, hunting for seasonal fruits and seafood souvenirs. From morning to evening, savor every aspect of the Seto Inland Sea's bounty—an irresistible gourmet adventure.
