π‘ Tips for Visitors
Most stalls are cash-only, so bring plenty of yen. The market gets very crowded during lunch hours (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM) and early evenings, so visit mid-afternoon for easier seating. While English menus are limited, staff are welcoming and many dishes have photo displays making ordering easier - don't hesitate to point and smile.
