Nachi-Katsuura Tuna Auction
勝浦漁港のマグロ競り
3.8Est. 60Nachi-Katsuura, Kansai
Overview
Japan's largest fresh tuna auction outside the capital, where fishing boats unload bluefin on the dock at dawn and bidders compete under fluorescent warehouse lights.
Unlike the hyper-touristy Toyosu market, this port town allows you to witness the high-stakes world of tuna auctions from a quiet observation deck at dawn. Giant bluefin and bigeye tuna are laid out across the floor for inspection before being sold with rapid-fire hand signals. Afterward, you can eat the freshest possible sashimi at the adjacent market stalls.
