About This Destination

One of western Japan's largest seafood markets where visitors can buy fresh fish, dine at seafood restaurants, and enjoy barbecue.
Tore Tore Market is a massive seafood market in Shirahama that has become one of the most visited food destinations in the Nanki region, drawing locals and tourists alike with its impressive selection of fresh fish and shellfish harvested from the rich waters off the Kii Peninsula. The bustling market hall features dozens of vendors selling everything from whole tuna and yellowtail to local specialties like shirasu dried baby sardines and Ise-ebi spiny lobster. Visitors can purchase fish at the market stalls and have it prepared on the spot as sashimi, or head to the barbecue area to grill their own selections. Several sit-down restaurants within the complex offer sushi, seafood rice bowls, and set meals at reasonable prices. The market also sells Wakayama mikan citrus products, umeboshi pickled plums, and other regional souvenirs.
