Kochi Sunday Market
ι«η₯εΈ, ι«η₯η
Stretching over one kilometer along Otesuji Street, Kochi Sunday Market is one of Japan's oldest and largest open-air markets, operating for over 300 years every Sunday. Browse through approximately 400 colorful stalls selling fresh local produce, traditional crafts, street food, and regional specialties like yuzu citrus products and Tosa knives. The lively atmosphere and friendly vendors make this a perfect place to experience authentic local culture and pick up unique souvenirs.
π‘ The market operates only on Sundays from early morning until around 4-5 PM, with the best selection available before noon. Most vendors are cash-only, so bring plenty of yen. While English is limited, vendors are friendly and patient, and pointing and using a translation app works well for communication.
