Tanga Market is called the “kitchen of Kitakyushu.
It began as a riverside fish market in the 1910s, and took its present form around 1955.
Centered on an old-fashioned-looking arcade extending approximately 180 meters from north to south, 120 stores selling fresh fish, fruits and vegetables, meat, and prepared foods are lined up, creating an lively, retro atmosphere.
Enjoy eating and walking around.
Cheap, local snacks, fruit juices, and sweets can be purchased for 200 to 500 yen, but what is unique is the “Daigaku-don” .
Visitors can make their own “original” bowl of rice by placing their favorite ingredients from various stores on top of white rice.
