Djibasan Market Connected to Aki Station – Enjoy Local Flavors Like Chirimen Donburi for Lunch
About this spot
A farm-direct market adjoining Aki Station on the Gomen-Nahari Line, brimming with fresh morning vegetables and fruits from local farms, processed goods, and prepared meals and side dishes. Aki City is known for facility horticulture, particularly for its eggplants, which are famous nationwide. Abundant citrus fruits and dried small fish (chirimen-jako) represent both mountain and sea bounty. The market is famous for lunch boxes and sushi made with local ingredients, especially the signature chirimen donburi (rice bowl topped with dried small fish). Visiting for lunch during a train journey is a classic ritual. It's also ideal for souvenir shopping. A bicycle rental window is available, making afternoon walks through Aki town convenient. This bustling in-station market offers glimpses of locals' daily life.
Tips
Popular lunch boxes and chirimen donburi sell out quickly during lunch hours, so secure your meal first upon arrival. Renting a bicycle from the market window makes the journey to the Nora Clock area much easier.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Afternoon inventory remains solid, but signature lunch boxes and chirimen donburi are safer reserved earlier.
