Narita Wholesale Market

Narita Wholesale Market is a large trading facility near the airport with separate sections for seafood, produce, and logistics operations spread across multiple buildings. The site handles the daily flow of goods that suppliers and traders move through the system.

The facility relocated to its current site in January 2022, positioning itself just a few kilometers from Narita International Airport. This move connected wholesale operations more closely to one of Japan's major transportation hubs.

The market hosts Morimori Event Days on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, featuring special sales and tuna auctions that visitors can watch and experience. These events reveal how the daily buying and selling here connects directly to feeding the wider region.

The market opens from 6 AM and typically welcomes buyers until around 10 AM, while dining facilities remain available until midday. Visitors should plan to avoid Wednesdays and holidays when the market is closed.

This is the first wholesale market in Japan to have an integrated export facility that processes agricultural and seafood products in the same location. This combination allows goods to move more directly from processing to international shipment.
