Sato Suisan Salmon Factory Store

Flow of the course

About this spot

A facility near Ishikari Bay New Port that processes and sells salmon. There is a corner where you can watch the processing through glass, seeing up close how each large salmon is handled by hand and turned into a finished product. The shop is lined with dried salmon strips, salmon roe and all kinds of processed goods, so you come to really feel why Ishikari is called the town of salmon. There is also a place to eat, so finishing lunch early before the crowds arrive makes the rest of the day much easier. Even children who dislike fish can choose easy-to-eat dishes such as fried items or soups.

Tips

Check the opening hours, tour reception times and closing days on the official website in advance. Starting your meal around 11:00 makes it easier to get a table. Fresh products spoil easily in a car, so on a day with water play bring a cooler pack or plan to stop by on the way home instead. Koyozan-Minami Park is about 15 minutes away by car.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 45 minutes. An early lunch before the crowds leaves the afternoon relaxed
