Landmark Souvenir Market Guided by a Giant 7.7-Meter-Tall Kitaro Statue
About this spot
A large souvenir market operated by a Sakaiminato marine products company, where a giant Kitaro statue about 7.7 meters tall welcomes you at the entrance—also a famous photo spot. The interior displays rows of dried fish, fish cakes and other processed products, and Sakaiminato's pride—seafood including crabs—with the appeal of directly-operated quality and freshness. Yokai-themed Kitaro merchandise and sweets are also abundant, so souvenir shopping for family and friends never ends. Browsing the sales floor while enjoying complimentary samples keeps the food-tasting spirit alive through the end. Complete your day by picking up any forgotten seafood here.
Tips
Free parking facility is complete, making it convenient for car visits. Insulated bags are handy when buying items requiring refrigeration like crabs and dried fish. For commemorative photos with the statue, step back enough to capture the entire statue.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 30 minutes. Evening attracts returning souvenir shoppers, yet the spacious floor allows leisurely selection
