Shopping and Tasting Walk for Fresh Seafood at One of Japan's Three Great Morning Markets
About this spot
One of Japan's three great morning markets alongside Wajima and Hida Takayama, continuing for over 400 years since the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Local seafood, vegetables, and dried fish stalls line the cobblestone streets, and conversations with vendors are a highlight of the journey. With plenty of freshly fried satsuma-age (fish cake) and bracken mochi to sample, it's the perfect start to a gourmet adventure.
Tips
Closed on Wednesdays. The location of the market changes between the first and second half of the month, so check local information. Bring coins and a cooling bag for shopping.
Best time to visit
Allow 60-75 minutes. The market operates only in the morning, with peak activity around 9 a.m.
