💡 Tips for Visitors

The market runs only on Sundays from early morning (around 5-6 AM) until 3-4 PM, with peak hours between 9 AM and noon. Most vendors are cash-only, so bring plenty of yen. While English is limited, vendors are warm and welcoming, and pointing and smiling goes a long way—don't hesitate to sample food and ask for tastes before buying.
