Otaru Triangle Market

Otaru Triangle Market was named after the triangular shape of its land and roof. It started around 1948 when seven or eight street vendors opened stores in front of Otaru Station. Since then, the market has developed into a morning market, attracting visitors from the Ishikari and Goshi regions, as well as the Kamikawa and Hidaka regions, and has become a popular place to buy goods.
The market has developed into a morning market with the motto, "Cheap! The market is 200 meters long, 2 meters wide, and has 16 stores lined up on both sides of a narrow slope with an aisle between them. It is the only market in Otaru City that is open every day, so you can come any time of the day.
You can buy seafood such as crab, sea urchin, scallops, and fish, as well as vegetables, fruits, and daily necessities, making it very convenient for everyday shopping and for picking up souvenirs. The shopkeepers on either side of you will happily call out to you, giving you the feeling that you have come to a market, and bargaining with the unique shopkeepers is also a fun way to enjoy the market.
There are six restaurants where you can enjoy your meal from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm! Each restaurant offers rice bowls made with fresh seafood and daily set menus using seasonal ingredients, and you can even have items you bought at the market cooked on the spot to create your own original rice bowl! Filling your stomach with fresh seafood and sightseeing in Otaru will further increase your satisfaction!
