Kuroshio Market

Kuroshio Market at Wakayama Marina City draws crowds for its lively tuna-cutting shows performed several times daily. Watching a chef break down an entire bluefin tuna with practiced precision is a spectacle, and freshly sliced sashimi available immediately afterward tastes exactly as fresh as it looks. Beyond tuna, market stalls sell local seafood, dried goods, and regional specialties, with a BBQ corner where you can grill your own purchases. The adjacent Porto Europa theme park and Kishu Kuroshio Onsen add more reasons to stay. Visit on a weekend morning when the energy peaks and the selection is widest.
