Yokohama South Central Wholesale Market is a distribution hub for fresh seafood, meat, and farm products in Kanazawa. The facility features separate sections for different merchandise types, each with climate-controlled storage suited to its contents.
The market opened in 1973 to meet the growing food needs of Yokohama's expanding population and serve as a central supply hub. This expansion reflected the city's rapid development during that period.
The market hosts cooking demonstrations and tuna-cutting classes that let visitors watch local producers prepare their goods and learn about traditional handling methods.
Public hours are typically 8 AM to 10 AM on specific days, with bus connections from Yokohama or Kanagawa stations providing convenient access. It is best to visit early and check in advance which days are open to the public.
The facility maintains separate temperature-controlled zones that keep seafood and meat in optimal storage conditions for extended periods. This specialized cooling system allows the market to preserve freshness and quality throughout the supply chain.
