Hasshoku Center

This market has some fresh fish caught locally at Hachinohe, specifically from Japan’s finest port, the Hachinohe Bay. Various local fish merchants built this market, as they united their stores near the port. It celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2020. Across an area of 4200m, there are 60 stores, with the sounds of busy merchants echoing around.

There are sushi restaurants serving fresh local fish, a shop where fish that you have purchased can be grilled. It is busy all day. There are stores selling processed goods, local sake, and it is perfect to find souvenirs. Some events such as outdoor live events and cooking classes (reservations required) are held here as well.

The market and restaurants are closed every Wednesday. There is a town bus heading to the market from Hachinohe Station and the center of Hachinohe City every hour.
