    Niigata Murakami-shi Sannocho 1-1 Surrounding area
    A market held on every day of the month ending in a “2” or a “7.” The market’s name translates to “the market of six celebrations,” a reference to the number of times it is held each month. Held continuously since 1919, the market consists of some 150 stalls stretching from Oshagiri Hall (Murakami History Museum) to an alley in Sanno-cho. Here you can find a wide variety of things for sale, including seasonal fresh vegetables, seafood, local specialty products, edible wild plants, and fresh flowers. Even today, the market serves as the pantry of Murakami and bustles with customers. You can also find stalls selling everyday essentials you’d never see in a souvenir store, and many locals as well as tourists can be seen in the market.

Found along the northwestern coast of Japan, Niigata prefecture is celebrated for its high-quality rice and breathtaking nature, most notably its spectacular mountains, whose white peaks draw in snow sports lovers from far and wide over the winter months. Hit the slopes at Yuzawa, pick out your favourite modern artist at Echigo Tsumari, or take a ferry over to Sado Island for an extra adventure.
