[2025 Imizu Restaurant] Travel Guide for Shimminato Kittokito Ichiba (Updated May)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Come to Shinminato Kikitokit Market to eat red crabs! The Fisherman's Market, located at Shinminato Fishing Port in Toyama Prefecture, is in a remote location close to the sea and looks like a tourist fish market. People come here specifically to eat the famous local red crabs, which are about the same size as snow crabs and are characterized by their rich soup. It is a specialty of the San'in coastline. There are many stalls in the tourist market that provide cooking services. I bought two red crabs to steam. The meat is so sweet and fresh, and the soup is even more delicious. There is no need to dip it in sauce at all. It’s great to just fish it out and cook it right away! There are also some special local products in the market, such as white shrimp ice cream? Very interesting. In terms of transportation, if you don’t drive, there are buses from Toyama Station that can take you directly there, or you can go to Gaogang and then change to the road railway, which takes about 40 minutes to get to Toshinminato Station, which is about 6 minutes’ walk, so it is basically quite convenient. #ToyamaTravel #ShinminatoMarket #RedChu Crab

To get there, take the Manyo Line tram from Takasaki Station in the Hokuriku North area for about 40 minutes. Get off at Higashi-Shinminato Station and walk for approximately 10 minutes to reach Shinminato Fisherman's Market. This market not only sells fresh seafood from Toyama Bay but also features several affordable eateries where you can enjoy local seafood specialties. After a satisfying meal, you might consider walking for about 20 minutes to Kaiwomaru Park to see the Shinminato Bridge and the New Port Bridge. Alternatively, you can return to Higashi-Shinminato Station and take the tram for one stop to Kaiwomaru Station or two stops to Etchu-Nakagawa Station.

"Shinminato Kittokito Market" is a small market in Shinminato. You can buy various souvenirs such as seafood, pickled scallops, a Toyama specialty, local sake, dried fish, sweets and dried goods♪ There were restaurants and sushi shops, but since it is a tourist destination, the prices were quite high💦 I recommend going there to buy souvenirs rather than eat👍️ [Name] Shinminato Kittokito Market [Location] 1 Kaiou-cho, Imizu-shi, Toyama-ken 934-0023 [Visit date] February 2025 #0 yen trip February 2025

The first one is the crab and scallop bowl, 2500 yen (with tea) at the shop on the left hand side inside Shinminato Kitto Market. The crab was really fresh, full of flavor, and the big scallops were plump and delicious 🦀😋 The second one is the shop in the 4th and 5th photos, Hamayaki to Ozake Isoaburi. This shop is about 8 minutes walk from Toyama Station. I had the Hamayaki and it was so delicious! The shellfish were packed with big pieces and very satisfying! Clams 680 yen, grilled turban shells 780 yen, grilled squid 550 yen 🦑 The taste was very good and the staff was very kind 💕 The third recommendation is Uodon-tei. I had 8 kinds of Toyama Bay seafood bowls 🐟 The price was about 2500 yen So much for such a low price! ? I was surprised, but I ate it all in one go 😂 If you're traveling to Toyama, I highly recommend it ✨️ #0yentravelautumn #Toyamastation #seafoodbowl
