Yobuko Morning Market

Market
One of Japan’s three largest morning markets, Yobuko operates 364 days a year (only closing on New Year’s Day). Open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., on weekdays some 40 stands operate and 60 on weekends and holidays. The market is particularly famous for its squid ikizukuri sashimi, made with a variety of squid throughout the year. In addition to the squid, visitors are encouraged to try the mackerel ikizukuri, which is fast becoming a new specialty for the market. Take the Showa Bus bound for Yobuko at Oteguchi Bus Center in front of JR Karatsu Station and get off at the Yobuko stop; the market is just a three-minute walk from there. 30 minutes by car.

    河太郎の開店前に寄りました。思ったよりも小さく、歩いて食べられるようなものはあまりありません。魚やイカは安いのですが鮮度の問題で持って帰れない...I came before Kawataros opening. It is smaller than I thought, and there are not many things which we can walk and eat.
  • This market makes me feel like Im in Japan.
