Hakodate Morning Market

Hakodate Morning Market is located just a minute walk from the station. Fresh foods collected from all over Hokkaido, including seafood, are lined up. The market has its roots in 1945 when farmers from neighboring towns and villages brought in fruits and vegetables and started selling them in front of Hakodate Station. It is recommended to visit as early as possible, as they sometimes run out of food by mid-afternoon. The market is lined with about 250 stores, including the Domburi Yokocho Market, where diners can enjoy fresh seafood bowls, and the Ekini Market, which sells seasonal seafood.
