Shimonoseki Karato Market's Fugu and Straits Gourmet Food Walk

A food-walk course where you can enjoy seafood while gazing at the Kanmon Strait in Shimonoseki, the home of fugu. In the morning, experience the vibrant food stalls of Karato Market, selecting and savoring fugu sushi and fresh seafood one piece at a time. At nearby Camon Wharf, enjoy a sweet snack break while watching ships traverse the strait. For digestion, visit the Dragon King's Palace-like Akama Shrine, and spend an indulgent afternoon exploring the history at the Nisshin Kowarekinen Hall, located next to Shunpanro, Japan's first officially licensed fugu restaurant. The day concludes with a photo at the "World's Greatest Fugu Statue" at Kameyama Hachiman Shrine and views of the strait at sunset. A perfect day for food-walk lovers who want to experience both market gourmet and the stories of a port town.
