Toretore Market

One of the largest seafood markets in Kansai, Toretore Market in Shirahama draws on the nearby Kuroshio Current for its daily supply of tuna, sea bream, squid, and seasonal catches. Vendors will grill your selection on the spot, or build you a generous sashimi platter or seafood bowl. Beyond the fish stalls, the market includes souvenir shops, a sushi restaurant, and outdoor barbecue areas where you can cook your own purchases. It sits a short drive from Shirahama's famous white sand beach, making it a natural lunch stop during a beach day on the Wakayama coast.
