Karato Market is a representative tourist spot in Shimonoseki, and also a gourmet spot. Every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday, an event called Bakangai is held, and on that day, sushi shops are lined up in the market! You can buy sushi by the piece, so it might be fun to go around the shops and make your own original sushi pack. One of the most popular shops is "Takesho", and when I actually ate it, it was cheap and delicious, and I was completely addicted. I went there two days in a row. It takes 15 to 30 minutes to order, and when it's your turn, you tell the staff the sushi toppings and number you want. There is a microphone installed, so you don't have to shout, which is a nice touch in a lively space. Order from the left half, order from the right half, pay, and then enjoy wherever you like. You can order miso soup and other items separately at the counter in the back. Sushi starts at 100 yen per piece, and even though it's cheap, the portions are big and the fish is very fresh, so it's very satisfying◎ The fugu soup (300 yen) is also full of chunks of meat, and is especially recommended in winter when it's in season, as it will warm you up😉 Karato Market was really better than I expected! It was a place I definitely want to stop by when I go to Shimonoseki🍣 *Reference price / per piece* 100 yen: Natural pufferfish, local live horse mackerel, seared hairtail 150 yen: Live red sea bream, red tuna, natural flounder 200 yen: Bluefin tuna medium fatty tuna, Hokkaido scallops 300 yen: Marbled whale, bluefin tuna brain/fatty tuna Visited: February 2024 #Japanese Gourmet 2024 #100 Travel Styles #Domestic Travel #Yamaguchi #Yamaguchi Tourism #Yamaguchi Gourmet #Gourmet #Shimonoseki #Shimonoseki Tourism #Shimonoseki Gourmet #Karato Market #Takesho #Sushi #Sushi

The "Ikiki Bakan" at Karato Market in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture was amazing⭐️ As much sushi as you like✨ Each sushi is large, and because it's a market, it's extremely fresh. There are chair seats in the market, but connoisseurs eat on the grass in front of the sea😋 Happy sushi time while looking at the Kanmon Bridge❤️ You can also get there from Moji Port in Fukuoka. It's a 5-minute boat ride to Shimonoseki✨ It departs every 20 minutes, and costs 400 yen one way. It's a small boat, but if you board with a wheelchair or stroller, there is a semi-private room where you can sit comfortably😊 When you arrive at the port next to Shimonoseki Aquarium Kaikyokan, it's a short walk to Karato Market, where you can choose and buy your favorite sushi, such as blackthroat seaperch, fan shrimp, and ara.

During the Easter holiday, the family and the four elders went to Kyushu My grandfather said he wanted to visit the fish market in Japan No problem! When you go to Kyushu, you must go to Tangdo Market! I was supposed to go on the 2nd day of the trip Later, when I looked more closely, I realized that the schedule of Tangdo Market was Only open every Friday and Saturday🥴 Fortunately, I did my homework and read it clearly As a result, on time, to the 6th day of the trip to go to the fish market! Because the Tang House market will start a big sale until 12:30 So we arrived by car at 12:30 and parked in the upstairs parking lot of Tang House Once there, of course, we have to take a picture of the big sign [Tangdo Market] and extra large 🐡 landmarks Then heading into the market center It's right to see a crowded place The shops are ordering large pieces of sashimi sushi, sashimi rice, specialty sashimi and fried food Each piece of sashimi counts, the shopkeeper will help you to match it, then count🍣 Among them, the tortoise and the arm-length sea bass are the best🤤 My daughter loves fried shrimps that are longer than her face🍤 After buying, you can walk out to the wooden chairs by the market for a picnic Ready to eat, very fresh If you don't have enough, you can walk back into the market and buy again! This late brunch is very satisfying Really fresh and delicious, and full of flavor Will definitely come again next time! #Kyushu #TangdoMarket #NorthKyushu City #DrivingTour #JapanDrivingTour #JapanFreeTravel #Japan Attractions

A place where you can look around the market and eat delicious sushi! This is Karato Market in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Originally a fish market that sells various seafood wholesale and retail, an event sushi market is held every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Since it is sushi sold at a fish market, it is of course fresh! The price is cheap and there are many kinds, so I definitely recommend it! A kaisendon with a variety of seafood such as tuna, salmon, and shrimp is only 1,000 yen!! You can choose the sushi you want in a disposable container, and you can eat it at a table on the 2nd floor of the market, or on a nice day, you can go outside and sit on a bench and look at the ocean and eat it even more deliciously! After you finish eating sushi, go up to the rooftop of the market and take some nice, exotic pictures with the ocean and palm trees in the background. Highly recommended👍 #Japan Travel #Karato Market #Fukuoka Travel #Kitakyushu Travel

Most tourists will buy some sushi and sit outside to enjoy the view of the pier while eating it. #Japan #Karato Market #Nigi Sushi #Shimonoseki City #Kyushu

Being the home of puffer fish, it's incredibly cheap! I was surprised that other fish besides puffer fish were also cheap. When you purchase, you will also receive disposable chopsticks and soy sauce, so you can eat it on the spot.

I went on a trip to Yamaguchi for the first time in my life♪ Yamaguchi Prefecture is often overlooked because it is sandwiched between the impressive prefectures of Fukuoka and Hiroshima, but when I went there, I found it to be an incredibly wonderful prefecture✨ There are so many tourist spots with spectacular views and local gourmet food that it's impossible to see everything in 2 nights and 3 days!

#Spring0yentrip Karato Market is famous for its lively weekends and the fresh seafood bowls and sushi you can enjoy, but I visited on a weekday. Therefore, unlike the lively market atmosphere I had imagined, there were few people and only a few shops open. It felt a little lonely, but I was able to stroll around the market at my own pace. As I walked around looking for shops that were open, I found several fresh fish shops with fresh seafood lined up. Looking at the lively fish and shellfish, I could feel a little of the liveliness unique to the market. There was also a sushi shop open, and since I had come all the way there, I decided to try some fresh nigiri sushi. Since it was a weekday, I was able to enjoy my meal at my own pace without having to wait in line, which was an unexpected benefit. When I went outside the market, the Kanmon Straits spread out before me, and it was nice to take a walk while feeling the sea breeze. Unlike the crowded weekends, I was able to spend my time leisurely in a quiet atmosphere, which may be the charm unique to weekdays. Karato Market is busier on the weekends with many stores open, so if you want to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the market, the weekends are the best. However, weekdays are recommended for those who want to avoid the crowds and enjoy the market atmosphere at their leisure. I would definitely like to return on a weekend next time. #KaratoMarket #ShimonosekiGourmet #FreshSeafood #MarketTour #KanmonStrait

[Karato Market] Sushi Market Friday, Saturday: 10:00 ~ 15:00 Sunday: 08:00 ~ 15:00 1. Karato Market located in Shimonoseki. Famous for its puffer fish and the sushi market held on Fridays and Saturdays. 2. 5-minute boat ride from Mojiko Port on a Kitakyushu trip. (400 yen per person round trip) 3. If you use the Kanmon Tunnel on the top of the port, you can also walk. (A little far) 4. The freshness and taste of the sushi is really the best. 5. Rooftop lawn garden, you can eat while looking at the sea from the bench outside. 6. Too many people and not that big. If you come during peak times, it will be difficult to move because of the crowds. Because many local Japanese people visit. #Karato Market #Kitakyushu Travel #Shimonoseki #Sushi #Fish Market #Mojiko #Japan Travel 7. Since waiting 40 to 1 hour per store is the norm, it is practically impossible to visit multiple stores. It would be better to split up with your group and wait at multiple stores. 8. The sushi and prices differ significantly at each store. When there are no people, try to walk around as much as possible. However, it won't be easy.. 9. The most recommended thing is to do an open run. When it's quiet, you can quickly visit multiple stores and get delicious food. [Overall] It was a fun experience to eat fresh sushi while looking out at the ocean, but I don't think it's necessary to wait like this. If you're staying in Shimonoseki or Kitakyushu, it's recommended to visit early in the morning and enjoy it. #Overseas Travel

#2月好去地方2025 In Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, if you want to experience a feast of seafood and market culture, Karato Market is definitely a destination not to be missed. This bustling market located beside the Kanmon Strait is famous for its fresh seafood, especially the local specialty pufferfish, which is well-known far and wide. The market is open from 5am to 3pm on weekdays and from 8am on Sundays and national holidays. Admission is free, making it attractive to both food lovers and general tourists. Every Friday, weekend and holiday, the "Busy Maguan Street" event is held here, with vendors gathering to provide affordable and delicious hand-held sushi, seafood bowls, puffer fish soup and fried puffer fish, allowing people to feast on their food while feeling the vitality of the market. There are two convenient ways to get to Karato Market from Fukuoka. If you take the Shinkansen, it takes about 20 minutes from Hakata Station to Kokura Station, and then transfer to the conventional railway to Shimonoseki Station for 15 minutes. From the east exit of Shimonoseki Station, take a direct bus for 10 minutes. The other route has a more marine flavor: transfer from Kokura Station to Mojiko Station, then walk to the pier to take the ferry. It takes only 5 minutes to reach Karato Market, and you can also enjoy the scenery of the Kanmon Strait along the way. The ferry service is not very frequent, with one every 20 minutes. After 7pm, it is adjusted to one every 30 minutes. Just pay attention when planning. Before arriving at the market, you will pass by the Kamon Market shopping center, which has restaurants and gift shops and is a good place to stop for a while. The most eye-catching thing when it entered the market was a puffer fish dish vending machine that was advertised as "the only one in Japan". Although it is full of frozen food that needs to be taken home and cooked, this novel design still makes people want to take a few more glances. The seafood area in the market is bustling with activity, with a wide variety of pufferfish, sea bream, and yellowtail on display. The fishmongers are shouting enthusiastically, and chatting with them while choosing ingredients is a great pleasure here. During weekend events, the sushi and puffer fish soup sold at the stalls are affordable, but the ingredients are of the highest quality and the taste is fresh and unforgettable. In addition to seafood, I also tried Bambi's matcha soft serve ice cream. The silky texture that melts in your mouth is paired with a refreshing matcha aroma, the sweetness is just right, and paired with a crispy biscuit cone, it brings a touch of coolness in warm weather. Standing on the deck next to the market, holding sushi in one hand and soft serve ice cream in the other, looking out at the Kanmon Bridge and the ships passing by, such a moment is truly pleasant. The market provides multilingual guidebooks in English, Chinese and other languages, as well as free Wi-Fi. Although there are no lockers, parking is convenient and it is also very friendly to tourists who drive here. This trip to Karato Market was full of surprises, from transportation to food. Whether it is tasting seasonal seafood or feeling the lively atmosphere of the market, this place left me with a deep impression of Shimonoseki. If I come to Xiaguan again, I would like to bring my friends with me, eat and stroll along the strait, and enjoy the unique freshness and deliciousness of this land. #360street
