Lunch at Hanabusa: The Famous Seafood Bowl Piled High with Fish and Shellfish from Hinomisaki Fishing Harbor
About this spot
A fresh seafood restaurant run by a fish shop located on Misaki Street leading to the Izumo Hinomisaki Lighthouse. Fresh fish and shellfish from Hinomisaki Fishing Harbor are served based on the day's catch. The specialty is a seafood bowl with toppings piled so abundantly they overflow the rim—featuring local seasonal fish, sea urchin, turban shells, and other bounties of the Japan Sea all at once. The scent of salt spray drifts around the shop, making it a perfect lunch spot after exploring the lighthouse. Buying and eating grilled turban shells and squid cooked at the shop entrance is a dining experience unique to a port town. The simple, lively atmosphere lets you experience Hinomisaki's flavors in their entirety.
Tips
You can leave your car in the same free prefectural parking lot as the lighthouse and walk to the restaurant. As a popular shop, expect lines during the lunch rush; arrive right after opening for the shortest wait. Some days, they close when ingredients sell out, so eating lunch early is recommended.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Arriving shortly before noon will help you avoid lines and enjoy a full selection of fresh ingredients.
