Hakodate Morning Market, Morning market near Hakodate Station, Japan.
Description
Hakodate Morning Market is a large market near the train station with approximately 250 shops offering fresh seafood, vegetables, and processed foods from the local fishing port. The stores are organized across a substantial area divided into separate sections.
History
This market began in 1945 after World War II and grew to serve the city's food needs. Over time it developed into four separate areas, each with its own focus.
Culture
Vendors here display their daily catches of squid, sea urchin, salmon eggs, and crabs while sharing their knowledge about regional fishing traditions and what is in season.
Practical
The market opens daily but at different times depending on the season, with earlier starts in warmer months and later starts in winter. Visitors should arrive early for the best selection, as many shops close around midday.
Did you know?
In one section visitors can catch live squid from tanks and have it prepared fresh to eat right away. This hands-on experience draws people who want to try something they cannot find elsewhere.
