Fukuoka’s Fabulous Fish Market

Fukuoka is famous throughout Japan for serving tasty seafood. Fish available here are so fresh that even blue-skin fish, which spoil rapidly, including mackerel, horse mackerel, and sardines, can be eaten raw. The Fukuoka Municipal Fish Market is one of the city’s backbones, serving a variety of seasonal maritime bounty. Established in 1955, the market is one of the renowned markets of its kind in Japan. The city’s location on the Japan Sea enables the market to offer seafood caught throughout Japan, but there is also a substantial assortment of fish from China, South Korea, and other countries. The city’s fish market serves as a base in Western Japan with both production and consumption functions supplying other parts of the country. Diners can enjoy fresh seafood cuisine at the restaurants and shops specializing mainly in Japanese food on the first floor of the market building. Also, visitors have free access to the Observation Plaza on the 13th floor to enjoy the splendid view of Hakata Bay.
