Shimizu Fish Market, known as Kashi-no-Ichi, is a vibrant and bustling market located in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka. This market is renowned as the first in Japan where wholesalers directly sell fresh seafood to the public, offering an authentic and lively experience for visitors. Shimizu Port, where the market is situated, is famous for having the largest catch of tuna in Japan, making it a prime destination for seafood lovers. The market is divided into two main areas: Ichiba-kan and Maguro-kan. Ichiba-kan (Market Hall) features numerous vendors selling fresh fish, shellfish, vegetables, and local products at competitive prices. Here, you can find a variety of seafood, including red bream and yellowtail. Ichiba-kan also offers some seafood restaurants and was renovated in April 2025. Maguro-kan (Tuna Hall) is dedicated to seafood restaurants where visitors can savor the freshest catches, especially tuna, prepared in various styles. Many restaurants specialize in tuna dishes, including the popular Suruga Don, a rice bowl topped with local seafood like whitebait and sakura shrimp. Shimizu Fish Market has a rich history, with the port playing a vital role since the Edo period. Ieyasu Tokugawa recognized its strategic importance, establishing a naval transport center here. Today, Shimizu Port is not only a key fishing port but also one of Japan's three most beautiful ports, offering scenic views of Mount Fuji and Miho no Matsubara. The market attracts many tourists and locals, especially on weekends, drawn by the fresh seafood and reasonable prices.
