Kanazawa Omicho Market Tour

The Kanazawa Omicho Market Tour immerses you in the sights, smells, and flavors of one of Kanazawa’s liveliest food destinations. With more than 170 stalls, the market offers an incredible variety of fresh fish, Kaga vegetables, and other local produce.

While the ground floor is bustling with vendors, many visitors overlook the restaurants upstairs, where chefs transform these high-quality ingredients into delicious meals.

Omicho Market has been the heart of Kanazawa’s food culture since the Edo period. Conveniently located within walking distance of Kanazawa Station, Kanazawa Castle, and the Higashi Tea District, the market is frequented by both locals and visitors, offering a vibrant glimpse into daily life in the city.

The market is best visited in the morning, just after the boats deliver their dawn catch. Strolling through the lively stalls, you can experience the energy of the market, watch skilled vendors at work, and sample seasonal specialties.

 

Join the bustling crowds and taste the freshest flavors of Kanazawa’s culinary heart.
