Why You Should Visit

A one-day market by Tarumi's fishermen and the restaurants around the station, held in the plaza outside the east exit of JR/Sanyo Tarumi Station. Fishing has gone on in Tarumi since the Heian period, and the local catch reaches shops and kitchens every day through the port's "lunch market". On the day, fish landed that morning is sold alongside special dishes made only with Tarumi fish: the fishermen's "dawn shirasu" rice bowl, shirasu pizza, seafood jeon, fried seafood and more, plus a live cooking demo of shirasu kugini by Wada Shoten and a touch pool for children. It closes Kobe's autumn fishermen's festival across Nagata, Suma and Tarumi; for anyone who wants Tarumi fish for lunch straight off the train.

FAQ

What happens if it rains?
In 2026 the October 25 market was cancelled because of the approaching typhoon. It normally goes ahead in rain and is cancelled only in stormy weather; cancellations are posted on the City of Kobe's Odekake KOBE event site.
The station plaza is under construction. Is it still on?
Yes. Part of the construction fencing is removed and the market runs in the area that does not interfere with the works.
When is the best time to go?
It can close early once sold out, so if you are after the fish or the food, aim for the 11:00 start.
