Omicho Market is a must-visit for seafood lovers! Famous for its fresh crab, sushi, and local delicacies, this lively market is full of colors and flavors.

Super authentic and satisfying! 🐟🍤 #OmichoMarket #KanazawaEats #SeafoodHeaven Use tips: - Just a 15-min walk from Kanazawa Station. - Go early (around 9-10 AM) to avoid the lunchtime crowds. - Bring cash, as many small stalls don’t accept cards. - Try the seasonal crabs and oysters – they’re famous here!

I thought Mt. Fuji was beautiful enough until I went to Toyama❗❗❗ Toyama, not Mt. Fuji! It's an underrated little treasure town! Located in central Japan, it includes Asahi Town, Nyuzen Town, Uozu City and Kurobe City. The continuous snow-capped mountains wrap around this small town. You can see the snow-capped mountains, the sea style, and the tram style at the same time. It is not inferior to Mount Fuji at all. It is also a must-shoot location for many photographers 📸 When you come to Japan The most unmissable stop in Toyama is Yuqing Coast, which faces the sea on one side and is surrounded by snow-capped mountains on three sides🏔️. It has won the titles of "the most beautiful coast" and "the most beautiful white sand". At the same time, you can also get the same model as "Spirited Away", that is, the tram that the faceless man takes the heroine to ride🚎 Highlights of Yuqing Coast Tourism: Nuyan Rock The first thing you see is Nuyan Rock standing in the sea, which is covered with green pines. It always appears in various photographic works as the foreground of mountains and seas Tateyama Mountain Range The Tateyama Mountain Range, with an altitude of 3,000 meters, is majestic and magnificent. Put Nuyan Rock in your heart, with tall mountains as the background. In autumn and winter, the top of the mountain is covered with snow. This picture is absolutely amazing! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Osaka and Tokyo, which Hong Kongers visit most often, face south, and their seafood comes from the Pacific Ocean. As for Kanazawa, which faces north, the seafood comes from the Sea of ​​​​Japan, so there are different specialty seafood. Kanazawa is best known for the Omi-cho market, which is filled with a variety of fresh seafood, such as Ishikawa Prefecture’s famous Kanon crab, Toyama Bay prawns and more. To count the shops with the most queues in Omi-cho market, it has to be the cheap and good seafood rice bowl. If you don't want to queue, there are many stand-up shops in Omi-cho Market, where you can enjoy fresh seafood such as seaweed, oysters, crab paste, etc., which will leave you with endless aftertaste. Tips: Seasonal limited energy crab If you are visiting between November and March, be sure to try the local Kanon crab in Ishikawa Prefecture. Kano crab is actually Matsuba crab caught in Ishikawa Prefecture, Kano refers to "Kaga" and "Noto", so it is limited to Ishikawa Prefecture. The matsutake crab in the Japanese Sea is really delicious and definitely worth a try!

A very interesting scene during the trip is visiting the local market to see what everyone usually eats and what the prices are like. Occasionally, there are products that I have never seen before, which are very novel and interesting. ❤️ 🐟Omi Town Market is the largest market in Kanazawa. There are many stores selling fresh food directly, and there are also many seafood 🦞BBQ🦐 restaurants, which can be cooked to order and are completely lively. We usually set off at around nine in the morning and walk along the stalls to eat. If we see the seafood we like, we’ll cook it fresh. We’ll have a cup of matcha with barbecue, and we’ll have brunch all at once. Merchants along the street also sell pickled foods or processed dried seafood. You can buy them home if you like (note ⚠️ there are customs restrictions) I happened to meet some children doing an outdoor internship that day. I saw each of them carefully holding a notebook and copying. I thought it was very interesting and cute❤️ #金AZawaomimachimarket #日本seafood #localfood #localmarket #spring-summer good place 2024

Went for a drive to Kanazawa with friends from my club 🚗 First, we went to see the symbol of Kanazawa Station, the "Tsuzumimon" gate 👀 For lunch, we had a seafood bowl at Omicho Market! It was 2,500 yen at "Enome" 🤤 Next, we went to Higashi Chayamachi! Since we had come all the way to Kanazawa, we had some gold leaf soft serve ice cream ✨ The pool at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art was closed for maintenance 😭 But we still managed to take some photos on the rabbit chair 📸 Finally, we went to Chirihama Nagisa Driveway. The sound of the waves and the wind were soothing 🥺🫶

I went to Omicho Market, the citizens' kitchen that supports Kanazawa's food culture! It is one of Kanazawa's most famous tourist spots and is usually crowded with tourists! But due to COVID, there were few people... Thanks to that, I was able to look around slowly 😅 The famous Matsuba crab 🦀 and fresh seafood are lined up everywhere. The side dishes made by the aunties also look delicious! I gave up on the idea of ​​cooking the crab myself, so I had a seafood bowl at the popular restaurant "Ikikitei"! It was delicious ~♡ 📍88 Aokusa-cho, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture #Omicho Market #Kanazawa Trip #Gourmet Trip #trip2022

Walking into Kanazawa's busiest market, [Omi-cho Market], you can immediately feel the pace of life in this ancient city of Hokuriku. Some people are like picking vegetables, but I am more like a gourmet, holding a market map in hand, tasting freshly cut fresh food, grilled seafood and authentic snacks. The most not to be missed is the sweet fresh oysters peeled on the spot and the crab meat gunkan sushi that melts in your mouth, as well as the fragrant grilled squid skewers and scallops. While strolling around, I bought a box of Tateyama beef nigiri sushi, and each one melted in my mouth instantly. It is really a great experience to eat it freshly made! There are many small shops in the market, including old Japanese fruit and vegetable stalls, century-old tofu shops, and local shops selling handmade sauces and miso pickles. One-stop search for souvenirs and local flavors is very suitable for arranging a local food tour in the morning or at noon. 📍Check-in location: Omi-cho Market Address: 88 Aokusa-cho, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture (near Kanazawa Castle and Kanazawa Station) #Kanazawa Food #Omi-cho Market #Fresh Seafood #Crab Meat Sushi #Scallop Skewers #Tateyama Beef Nigiri Sushi #Japanese Market #Local Snacks #Must-eats for Kanazawa Travel #Hokuriku Foodie Map #May Good Places 2025

Omicho Market, known as the kitchen of Kanazawa, offers a variety of foods at much more affordable prices compared to other tourist spots! I tried kaisendon and nodoguro sushi at a place called Ikiikitei. I highly recommend trying nodoguro when you're in Kanazawa! The market offers a wide range of food options and is conveniently located within walking distance of Kanazawa Castle, making it very accessible! Since mornings are the main time for activity, I recommend visiting in the morning.

A must-visit food spot for your trip to Kanazawa Omicho Market! You can enjoy a variety of food genres, starting with seafood food! This time, I was full, so I didn't eat much, but I'd like to introduce the two stores I went to! 📍Fruit Sakano You can enjoy freshly cut fruit and fruit juice! Recommended as a dessert after a meal! 📍Oguchi Suisan You can eat grilled seafood such as scallops while walking around! The souvenir corner is also large, so it's also recommended for buying souvenirs!

If you go too early, the stores only open at 9am, so you won't be able to eat there, and if you go too late, many stores will be closed, so if you're going, it might be best to aim for a time just before lunch! #EnjoyJapan #IshikawaPrefecture #KanazawaGourmet #OmichoMarket

I happened to visit there to meet a Japanese woman I knew at the time. She is now my girlfriend, but I am grateful that this city gave us such a wonderful trip that she became my girlfriend! Everything was great, from the historical sites to the food! In particular, the white roof of Kanazawa Castle blended so well with the surrounding scenery and was so pretty. If I have the chance, I want to visit there again and meet my girlfriend!

The main purpose of visiting Kanazawa is to visit the art museum near Kenrokuen. It is recommended to stay near Kenrokuen. It is best to plan three days and two nights. The transportation is not as convenient as Kansai, Osaka, and Kyoto. If you want to travel a wider area It is best to rent a means of transport Food: Very cheap, starting at 30% cheaper than Kansai There aren't many people here at 7 or 8 pm, so don't expect too much nightlife. Mainly visit Kenrokuen Garden and the tourist market

#EnjoyJapan Want to use the weekend to get away for a bit? A girls trip to Kanazawa is perfect for times like that💓 This time, we focused on cost-effectiveness and used an overnight bus plan, and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest from morning to night🎶 [Access] We took an overnight bus leaving Shibuya, Tokyo at night to Kanazawa🚌💨 The travel time is about 7-8 hours, but there are many comfortable buses with reclining seats and private rooms, so you can sleep soundly😪✨ Of course, if you go by the bullet train, which is excellent in Taipa, you can enjoy it efficiently! 🚅✨ [Tourist Plan] We got off early in the morning at Katayamazu Onsen, a short distance from Kanazawa♨️ This hot spring resort sits on the lakeside, and we woke up with a morning bath at Soyu, a day-use bathing facility that is open from 6am☀️ The open-air bath overlooking Lake Shibayamagata was a relaxing space that felt like a scene from a movie✨ Once we were warmed up, we got back on the bus and headed to Kanazawa Station🚌 For breakfast, we enjoyed conveyor belt sushi at Morimori Sushi🍣💖 Not only were they serving fresh ingredients, but they also had creative sushi made with Kaga vegetables, so we were excited right from the morning! After that, we went to the nearby "Omicho Market" 🐟 This area, known as "Kanazawa's Kitchen," is great for sampling and souvenir hunting 🛍️ Everything looks delicious, from seafood bowls to fruit daifuku, so it's hard to choose 💕 A satisfying trip to Kanazawa in the morning, then in the afternoon, we went to the popular art facility "KUMU Kanazawa" 🎨 In the second part, we'll introduce you to a luxurious time immersed in art, gourmet food, and a stylish space ♡ #GoldenWeek #Kanazawa #KatayamazuOnsen #OmichoMarket

Food (taste) always evokes people’s fond memories of traveling. During your trip to Kanazawa, if you can visit the "Omi-cho Market Food Street Ipuku Yokocho" to taste the authentic delicacies that can only be enjoyed in Kanazawa: Kanazawa oden, Hokuriku seasonal seafood, Japanese sake, and Noto beef, I believe you will definitely leave behind more beautiful travel memories that will be full of color, fragrance, and taste! Next time you plan your trip, come here to eat and drink! Explore Kanazawa's most famous fish market Founded during the Edo period, Omicho Market has been an integral part of Kanazawa's food culture for over 300 years. This sprawling market is home to more than 170 shops, including a large number of fishmongers selling fresh seafood caught from the Sea of ​​Japan. There are also fruit and vegetable stores selling local specialties, seafood stores, clothing stores, sundry goods stores, and restaurants. Crabs, yellowtail, and shrimp from the Sea of ​​Japan start to be sold around November and are particularly popular. Because of this, the market is usually packed with tourists and local citizens at this time of year. Another important attraction of the market is the Omicho Market Hall. The renovated building houses many popular restaurants and shops, which are worth a visit on the way to the market. Special Recommendation: 1. 🍽️「Standing Drink」‼ ️ The dining environment of "IPUKU Yokocho" is like a food court. The store adopts a free seating system. You must first secure a seat, and then go to each stall to order and pick up food. In addition to tables and chairs, there are also high tables where you can experience the Japanese-style "standing drinking" and eat and drink while standing. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and there is no pressure to chase customers into queues. Just remember to return the tableware after enjoying your meal, just like in Japanese food courts! 2. 「Hamayaki Shichifukumaru」🦞🐚‼ ️ Seafood bowls are sold in places famous for their seafood in Japan, but many people cannot enjoy them because they are afraid to eat them raw. "Hamayaki Shichifukumaru" (#浜焼き 　七福丸) is a restaurant that caters to customers with different needs by using two cooking methods: charcoal grilled food (Hamayaki) and mixed sashimi and seafood bowls. The "Hamayaki" stall at the door is filled with fresh oysters, scallops, turbans, and clams. Just buy the ingredients you want from the food coupon machine and the chef will grill them for you on the spot. Ingredients grilled over charcoal have a light charcoal aroma and a rich ocean flavor, and you can taste the elasticity and richness that only fresh food can have! 3. Kanazawa Oden IPPUKUYA: Special ingredients soaked in soup stock‼ ️🍢🍢 The flavor and ingredients of oden vary from place to place. The characteristic of Kanazawa oden lies in the deep and elegant broth. The oden ingredients are soaked in the broth, and the broth naturally flows into the mouth and melts when you bite it, warming your body and mind! The soup stock of "Kanazawa Oden IPPUKUYA" is carefully prepared every day with kelp, dried fish, etc., and is added with red rolls, shrimp, and bakudan (boiled eggs wrapped in fish paste) selected from handmade fish cake shops in Omicho Market, as well as grilled tofu, thick slices of fried tofu, and deep-fried tofu carefully selected from handmade tofu shops. In winter, there are also limited edition crab noodles, original shrimp noodles, black throat fish noodles, and other oden ingredients that are not usually available on the market. address 50 Kamiomi-cho, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture 920-0905 Opening hours 9:00 - 17:00 (depending on the store) Closed 1/1〜4 (Varies by store) Transportation: Take public transportation Take the Castle Town Kanazawa Tour Bus and get off at the "Musashijiguchi・Omicho Market" (No.RL14 or LL1) bus stop.

#GlobalTravel #KanazawaTravel #Kanazawa Kanguang 🛤 Nagoya → Kanazawa This time we didn’t stay in Nagoya too long, just as a stopover, from Nagoya to Kanazawa. Not long after our departure, we passed a rest stop in what looked like a European-style town, which turned out to be in the plateau area, nearly a two-hour drive from downtown Nagoya. 🚍 Kanazawa Transportation Tips | "Kanazawa Bus One Day Pass" After arriving in Kanazawa, we bought a “Kanazawa Tour Bus One Day Pass”, which is definitely recommended if you plan to take more than three buses a day! The face design of the ticket is also very thoughtful, obviously designed, holding the ticket will feel the journey plus points ~ 🍣 Stop 1 | Omicho Market・Seafood Paradise Omi-cho Market is definitely one of the must-visit attractions in Kanazawa, known as the “Kitchen of the Sea of ​​​​Japan”. This time we tried the super full sashimi, fresh seaweed, and oysters, each was incredibly fresh, the best seafood I’ve ever had, no exaggeration! 📍 Kami-Omi-cho, Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture 50🚏 Kanazawa Tour Bus "Musashi Intersection / Omi-cho Market" Station is about 1 minute walk

Omicho Market is located in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It is known as the "Kitchen of Kanazawa People" and has a history of more than 300 years. That day we chose to have lunch at Omicho Market Sushi Main Store, a famous conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Kanazawa Omicho Market, famous for its fresh seafood and cost-effective sushi dishes. There are 32 seats in the store, including 20 bar seats and two tables for 6 people. It is quite suitable for families to dine together, but it is recommended to come early, or come later after drawing a number ticket, because the business is too good and you will have to wait longer. The seafood here is sourced directly from the market every morning, offering seasonal catches from the Sea of ​​Japan, including Ishikawa Prefecture specialties such as blackthroat shrimp, Toyama Bay white shrimp, and prawns. We knew we had to try the famous blackthroat fish when we came to Kanazawa, so we ordered the seared blackthroat fish nigiri, which was fatty and full of flavor, so tender and delicious. In addition, if you order sushi or seafood bowl, miso soup will be provided. The miso soup is also full of seafood flavor and is very delicious. #MarchGoodPlaces2025
