Katsuura Morning Market

Farm-to-table Goodness and Old-fashioned Charm
Katsuura, on the eastern side of Chiba Prefecture’s Boso Peninsula, is a major fishing town that preserves the warm vibe of the Showa era (1926-1989) that so many Japanese look back on with great fondness. The place is rustic: fishermen and farmers plying their trades, country life chugging along at its timeless pace. Though just a 90-minute or so train ride from Tokyo, in atmosphere it is a world away.

The Katsuura Morning Market has been running for over 400 years, and is known as one of Japan's three major morning markets, along with Wajima Morning Market in Ishikawa Prefecture and Takayama Morning Market in Gifu Prefecture. The market is open every day except Wednesdays, and brimming with freshly caught seafood from Katsuura harbor. Here visitors can buy locally-caught seafood and other Katsuura specialties. Visitors not planning on doing any cooking during their vacation need not go without: many varieties of dried fish are also sold, along with dried squid and octopus.

Other than the morning market, diners around the harbor provide delicious seafood dishes such as seafood rice bowls and sashimi. Each restaurant uses it’s own different ingredients and serves different dishes like the Oragadon, a popular, unique type of rice bowl at an affordable price compared to those in Tokyo. Try comparing the taste with the seafood rice bowls you find in Tokyo.
