Morning Market Hakodate

函館朝市

Hokkaido

Hakodate Morning Market trades from 6:00 AM and is largely finished by 2:00 PM, which makes it a breakfast stop rather than a lunch one. Stalls sell Hokkaido crab, squid and sea urchin, and a number of counters serve them over rice as donburi. Browsing is free, and it is 11 minutes' walk from Hakodate Station.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on major attractions and miss this authentic local experience.
