    Aichi Pref. Gamagorishi Hiroishichou Asaoka 47-1
    This seafood market, looking out over Mikawa Bay, is located in Hiroishi Town, Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture. The market mainly sells freshly caught fish from the port, homemade sun baked dried fish, and processed seafood products. Popular as a souvenir and famous throughout the country is the Mikawa Bay dried young sardines, clams, and the round greeneyes fish. There is a place where you can scoop up as many clams as you like with your hands which is popular both with children and adults. Lots of specialty products from Aichi are sold in the market such as shrimp crackers, boiled fish-paste, Hatcho miso, and kishimen (flat noodles).

    平日ということでお客も少なく賑わいを感じられませんでした。何かひきつけるものが無ければと思えました。近海ものとか地場産業の物とか、値打ちな値段にするとか、魅力を前面に出してもらえると良くなると思いました。

Aichi Areas

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
