Come along with Masa Nakamoto and me for a drive and walkabout tour of Wajima in Ishikawa prefecture. We visited the market from 8am on Friday morning so many of the stalls weren’t set up and there were very few shoppers. I’m sure that it would be a lot more bustling if you were to visit from around 10am during the weekend.
Wajima Morning Market (輪島朝市) is one of the three biggest morning markets in Japan, with over 200 stalls. Its history dates back over 1,000 years when locals would barter for fish and vegetables during shrine festivals.
Today the market bustles with locals doing their grocery shopping. The energy of the vendors hawking freshly caught fish, local fruit and vegetables, and various dried goods draws curious visitors as well. Some stalls sell locally made crafts, textiles, and snacks such as sweet bean-filled rice cakes called ‘Egara Manju’. Free grilling stations let shoppers cook their purchases to eat them on the spot.
The market operates daily from 8 a.m. to noon (except the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month).
