[2025 Kanazawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Ōmichō Market (Updated Jan)

A very interesting scene during the trip is visiting the local market to see what everyone usually eats and what the prices are like. Occasionally, there are products that I have never seen before, which are very novel and interesting. ❤️ 🐟Omi Town Market is the largest market in Kanazawa. There are many stores selling fresh food directly, and there are also many seafood 🦞BBQ🦐 restaurants, which can be cooked to order and are completely lively. We usually set off at around nine in the morning and walk along the stalls to eat. If we see the seafood we like, we’ll cook it fresh. We’ll have a cup of matcha with barbecue, and we’ll have brunch all at once. Merchants along the street also sell pickled foods or processed dried seafood. You can buy them home if you like (note ⚠️ there are customs restrictions) I happened to meet some children doing an outdoor internship that day. I saw each of them carefully holding a notebook and copying. I thought it was very interesting and cute❤️ #金AZawaomimachimarket #日本seafood #localfood #localmarket #spring-summer good place 2024

After leaving Kenrokuen Garden from the Kohrinbo exit, I passed by Ishikura Shrine, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of History, and Kohrinbo, and finally arrived at Omicho Market. The seafood here is quite affordable, so I had breakfast and dinner here. After walking around in the rain, I was tired, so I went back to the hotel early to take a bath after eating...😄

While many shops in Omicho Market close in the evening, Ichinokura is open until 10pm and all the dishes are delicious. They also serve grilled seafood and grilled oysters, and the highlight is that they can be grilled right in front of you👀 It's nice to be able to watch the timing of the shellfish opening💕︎ They also cook the fish swimming in the aquarium at the entrance as they are, and they have delicious crab dishes🦀 To finish off, we had grilled baby sardines onigiri, which were so delicious!!

When it comes to delicious seafood in Kanazawa, Omicho Market is the place to go❕ It's a staple for Kanazawa trips✨ The hotel I stayed at was just a 1-2 minute walk from Omicho Market, so finding meals was never a problem🐟💕 I couldn't resist the temptation and ate my favorite raw oysters on the spot. They were huge, plump, and so delicious that I felt like my cheeks were falling off🥺🦪 There were many foreign tourists as well, and it was heartwarming to see them happily trying out the food stalls🥰 〒920-0905 Ishikawa Prefecture, Kanazawa City, Kamiomicho 50 9:00-17:00

For our last lunch in Kanazawa, we dined at the restaurant "Omicho Norichan by Noboruya" located on the basement floor of Omicho Market. 🍽️ The restaurant is famous for its bento menu, offering reasonably priced Noto beef. 😆 You can enjoy the meal in three stages: first, eat it as is, then wrapped in seaweed, and finally as ochazuke (rice with tea). 😋 It's fun to change the flavor in three stages. 🤍 Various condiments and sauces are provided, allowing you to customize the taste to your liking. ✨ The tender meat was incredibly delicious. 🥹🥩 Address: Murahata Building B1, 26 Shimomicho, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-0604 Hours: 10:00-16:00

Capital of Ishikawa Prefecture with well-preserved Edo-era districts. The main places of attraction are all within walking distances of each other (1-2 km) but you may consider using the Day Pass on Loop Bus services available on weekends. I was fortunate enough to be there and experience the Kanazawa Hyakumangoku Festival on 1 Jun at and around Kanazawa Castle. I visited the featured locations over 2 full days. Featured locations/food: (1) Kanazawa station - many food options, but I tried Noto Beef 3-way at Kanazawa Niku Shokudo (2) Omicho market - fresh seafood in various styles, sashimi, grilled, etc. 15 min walk from Kanazawa station. I tried Chirashi Don at Iki Iki Tei and fresh oysters at one of many stores (3) Higashi Chaya District - gold-leaf ice-cream (4) Kanazawa Castle Park - where I experienced the festivities (5) Kenrokuen - one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan (6) Nishi Chaya District, Ninja Weapons Museum - Darts throwing experience at the museum not to be missed and confectionary at Amanatto Kanazawa #kanazawa #omicho #higashichaya #kenrokuen #nishichaya #ninjabukimuseum #cultural

🏞️Kanazawa is famous for its production of gold leaf, with 99% of Japan's gold leaf being produced in Kanazawa City. The traditional technique that allows gold leaf to be thinly extended to one ten-thousandth of a millimeter has become a representative craft of Kanazawa, renowned both near and far. 🇯🇵🚇Transportation in Kanazawa Our previous stop was Takayama, from where you can take a 🚌bus or a train🚊 to Kanazawa. If you buy bus tickets🎫 too late and they are sold out, you have to choose the train, which is not direct and requires a transfer in Toyama. Actually, it's more convenient to travel from Shirakawa-go to Kanazawa. Therefore, when you arrive at a place, make sure to buy your tickets🎫 in advance. 🏠Accommodation In Kanazawa, we stayed for three days and two nights, choosing to stay at a chain hotel, Mitsui Garden Hotel, which has a large public bath♨️ and a laundry room🧺. The hotel is over 1 kilometer from the JR station, and a taxi costs 1800 yen. Although it's a bit far from the station, it's very close to all the major attractions, all within walking distance🥾, which is very convenient. However, I do not recommend the hotel's 🍽️restaurant, as it's more expensive than outside and not very cost-effective. ☝️Kanazawa's 🍽️Cuisine and 🛝Touring Route 🈯️Day One Arrive in Kanazawa at noon, get the room, and immediately head to the Omi-cho Market to solve the food issue🍽️, about 200 meters from the hotel. The seafood at Omi-cho Market is plentiful and not expensive, with a rhythm that allows you to eat as you walk. 🦀Matsuba crab is a specialty, and you can buy live ones to be processed, which are fresh and sweet. 🍣🐟Fatty tuna, 🍥scallops, oysters🦪, 🦀crab, 🍤🦐shrimp, and various other seafood products are dazzling. The first day is spent indulging in great food and drink. 🈯️Day Two 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art ⏭️Kanazawa Castle Park⏭️Kenrokuen Garden⏭️Myoryuji Temple⏭️Oyama Shrine⛩️ 🌃The swimming pool at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is a popular spot for photos, but other artworks are incomprehensible. 🏞️Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenrokuen Garden are together; you can reach Kenrokuen Garden by walking through the park. Kenrokuen Garden is one of the three great gardens of Japan, but it's quite crowded. You can try gold leaf ice cream🍦🍧🍨. 🛕Myoryuji Temple, built in 1643, is also known as the 🥷Ninja Temple due to its many traps and mechanisms. Photography🎦 is forbidden, and the interior is complex, appearing to have four stories from the outside but actually has seven. It's said that a well inside serves as a secret passage to Kanazawa Castle. You must call in advance to make a reservation, and they can speak English or Japanese. The cost is 1200 yen per person. Preschool children👧🧒👦👶 are not admitted. There is a Japanese guide, but you will be given a Chinese guidebook, which is recommended. If you don't know how to make a reservation, you can ask the hotel front desk staff for help. ⛩️Oyama Shrine has a bit of a mixed Eastern and Western feel. 🈯️Day Three 🚦Higashi Chaya District There are three Chaya districts: Higashi Chaya District, Nishi Chaya District, and Kazuemachi Chaya District. Inside, there are many places to enjoy tea, shops, and you can buy local specialty souvenirs, many of which are regionally limited.

New here

There are not only all kinds of fresh seafood here, but it is said that the fishermen are fishing in the sea before 4 o'clock in the morning, absolutely guaranteed to be fresh. In addition to the well-known Echizen crab, there is also a special name for oysters. In fact, oysters are mainly eaten fresh, fresh oysters are washed away after the sediment, lemon juice is poured, almost no smell can be eaten, and the taste of the sea is full. Unforgettable people.
