Feel The Energy and Smell The Fresh Aromas of Karato Market
The Karato area of Shimonoseki city is a port town that has prospered since ancient times, and many historical buildings remain. It is recommended to take a leisurely stroll while looking at those buildings. We recommend taking a stroll along the seaside boardwalk. After enjoying the sea breeze, the sound of the waves, and the picturesque scenery, you can explore some of the other town attractions, like Kaneko Misuzu Poetry Lane and the area’s retro-modern architecture.
A highlight of your trip is an early-morning visit to the Karato fish market. Feel the energy and smell the fresh aromas of Karato market, one of the largest fish markets in the region. The two-floor facility includes a large number of stalls selling freshly caught seafood, and the rush of activity makes for an arresting sight. Head up to the second floor to find the main eateries, selling sashimi and cooked dishes. To catch the market in full swing, head down early in the morning when traders and restaurant buyers arrive to buy large amounts of fish and seafood to be prepared across the city. A little after 7 am, the vendors will have a bit more time to answer your questions and chat about the market.
