Experience Location

Located in the heart of the city, Omicho Market is the go-to place for a deal on the tastiest local food in Kanazawa. With seafood, street food, and restaurants galore, this colorful food market has served as the city's largest fresh food market since the Edo era. This undercover market is home to over 200 shops selling everything from flowers to kitchenware, and every kind of delicious food in between. Omicho Market tends to be busy in the morning, although it’s also a decent lunch spot, selling specialty rice bowls topped with seafood local to the Kanazawa area.
