6. Nagahama fish market: closed to the public most days, open on Citizens’ Appreciation Days
At Fukuoka City’s central wholesale market, members of the public cannot buy from the wholesalers, and the intermediate wholesalers’ stalls inside the market sell only to registered buyers such as retailers and restaurants (Fukuoka City FAQ: Can citizens shop at the central wholesale market?, Japanese). The public can buy fish at the Nagahama fish market on “Citizens’ Appreciation Days”. The remaining day in fiscal 2026 is Saturday, December 12, 9:00–12:00 (fresh fish sales until 11:00); Saturday, November 7 has already passed.
The November 7 event was held together with an agriculture, forestry and fisheries festival. There are no Citizens’ Appreciation Days from January to March 2027 (Nagahama fish market website, Japanese). On these days, besides fresh fish sales, there are activities such as a bluefin tuna cutting show, a children’s sushi-making experience and a fish-filleting experience, and the content for each date is posted in the event information on the same website.
On days other than Citizens’ Appreciation Days, the public can still use the 1st floor of the market hall (set-meal restaurants, conveyor-belt sushi and others), the 2nd-floor exhibition facility “Uotching Plaza” and the 13th-floor observation plaza. You cannot shop, but anyone can watch the auction from the visitors’ walkway on the 2nd floor of the west wholesale building. Auctions are held only on market open days, so choose your day with the Fukuoka Central Wholesale Market open and closed day calendar (Japanese).
In the neighboring “Uoza” fish-eating promotion facility, you can buy local specialties such as mentaiko (spiced pollock roe) and dried-overnight fresh fish at any time. The produce market has about 20 shops on the 1st floor of the hall that the public can buy from, but the meat market has no shops open to the public.
It is about 12 minutes on foot from Subway Akasaka Station and about 3 minutes on foot from the “Nagahama 2-chome” Nishitetsu Bus stop. By car, it is about 2 minutes from the Tenjin-kita interchange of the city expressway, and there is a coin parking lot with about 120 spaces in front of the market hall (free for the first 30 minutes, then ¥100 per 30 minutes). The market is very crowded at lunchtime and on Citizens’ Appreciation Days, so if it is full, use a private coin parking lot nearby, and come by public transport if you can (Fukuoka City fish market page, Japanese).
| Name | Nagahama fish market (Fukuoka Central Wholesale Market Fish Market) |
|---|---|
| Address | 3-11-3 Nagahama, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka |
