Sankaku Market

Sankaku Market

三角市場

Hokkaido

Sankaku Market is a small covered seafood market beside Otaru Station, named for its triangular roof, where a handful of stalls sell the morning's catch and several run tiny counter restaurants at the back. Visitors can eat a kaisendon rice bowl or grilled seafood metres from where it was bought, in a cramped and genuinely working space.

Why we picked it

Many travellers ride straight through Otaru to the canal and glass shops, and never turn left out of the station into this market.
