Nijo Market

二条市場

Hokkaido

Nijo Market is a seafood market in central Sapporo trading 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, where stalls sell Hokkaido crab, sea urchin and salmon roe and several counters serve them over rice as kaisendon. Browsing is free. Because it shuts at five it is a morning or lunch stop, not an evening one.

Why we picked it

Many tourists overlook this market in favor of larger attractions, missing out on authentic local flavors.
