[Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture] Hachinohe specialty morning market! If you wake up early, why not try eating at the morning market?

Hachinohe is a port town representing Aomori Prefecture, and there are many restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood. The morning market is the place where various restaurants buy fresh and lively seafood. There are morning markets in various areas, so get up a little early and stretch your legs. Here are some recommendations.

Mutsu Minato Station Morning Market

Mutsu Station Morning Market is said to be the most atmospheric market in Hachinohe. It is located just a short walk from Mutsuminato Station on the JR Hachinohe Line, so it is easily accessible by train. The area around the market is lined with shops, and the energetic voices of the shopkeepers echo through the air. In addition to seafood, we also have prepared dishes, so you can create your own breakfast. The food corner at the back of the market has freshly cooked rice and miso soup.

However, the market is closed on the second Saturday of the month and every Sunday.
Instead, take your time and enjoy shopping at Minato Yamate Dori Morning Market, which is located near Mutsu Minato Station. In addition to food, they also have miscellaneous goods, so you can also purchase souvenirs. We are open from the second week of March to the third week of December, and are closed during the winter.

All of the morning markets are attractive, and you'll want to visit them all. Every Sunday, a one-coin bus called ``Isaba'' runs from Jusokamachi and Mikkamachi to two or three morning market venues, so why not try using it? Some places open as early as 3 a.m., so it might be a good idea to make the effort to get up early.
