What you'll do

Kuroshio Market
1527 Kemi, Wakayama, Japan
Located on the scenic shores of Wakayama Marina City, Kuroshio Market is one of Japan’s most dynamic seaside markets, celebrating the country’s centuries-old connection to the sea. Here, visitors can watch tuna-cutting shows that showcase the skill and precision of Japanese fishmongers, explore rows of fresh seafood from the Kii Channel and the Pacific coast, and enjoy a wide variety of dishes—from grilled scallops and oysters to sushi prepared on the spot. The market takes its name from the Kuroshio Current, the warm ocean flow that nourishes Wakayama’s coastal waters and supports its thriving fisheries. More than a shopping destination, Kuroshio Market is a cultural stage where Japan’s culinary traditions and respect for nature come alive. Each bite tells a story of craftsmanship, gratitude, and harmony between people and the sea.
