What Is the Misaki Morning Market?
We visited the morning market held at Misaki Port (三崎港). It’s a popular spot where you can buy fresh seafood at bargain prices.
Getting There and Timing
- Departure: Left Hayama at 5 a.m.
- Arrival: Arrived at 6 a.m.
- Travel time: About 45 minutes
The roads are empty early in the morning, so the drive was very smooth both ways.
Useful Things to Bring
So you can stock up and bring plenty home, we recommend preparing the following:
- Insulated cooler bags
- Freezer bags
- A cooler box (if possible)
At the Market
A Lively Atmosphere
Even at 6 a.m., lots of shoppers were there, and the atmosphere was very lively.
A Wide Selection
Frozen seafood packed with DHA is on sale.
Great Prices
Vendors sometimes go even lower than the price tag! The portions are large, though, so you’ll need a plan for using it all up.
Summary
- ✅ Going early means smooth roads
- ✅ Fresh seafood at great prices
- ✅ Cooler and freezer bags are a must
- ⚠️ Portions are large, so plan how you’ll use everything before you buy
