π‘ Tips for Visitors
Many stalls accept cash only, so bring yen for purchases. Visit in the morning (around 8-10 AM) for the freshest selection and liveliest atmosphere, though the market stays open until evening. Several food stalls have picture menus and some vendors speak basic English, especially at the popular seafood bowl restaurants on the second floor.
