Kure Taishomachi Ichiba Market

With a rich history dating back 140 years, the Kure Taishomachi Ichiba Market in Nakatosa is a local market where fishermen's wives sell the catch of the day from the Pacific Ocean. The market offers a wide variety of fresh seafood caught that same morning, as well as produce from local farmers such as vegetables, fruits, honey, and traditional crafts. The fish at the market is particularly delicious because it is caught using high-tech methods and selected by experts to meet high standards. Visitors can ask market staff for recommendations on what to buy and there are also shops that will prepare and cook the fish on-site. In addition to seafood, the market also has shops that sell bonito ramen and sweets.
