Kyoto City Central Wholesale Market Fisheries Market Visitor Area

Kyoto City Central Wholesale Market was established in 1927 as Japan’s first central wholesale market.
In its visitor area not only can you see actual auctions (from approximately 5:00 AM to 6:00AM), but even when there are no auctions, you can also learn about the role of the market and its functions, the way logistics work, and Kyoto’s food culture while you have fun through hands-on exhibits and other attractions that include immersive videos and an area that lets you feel what it’s like to drive a MOTORA (the small transport vehicles used in the market).
