Why You Should Visit

An annual morning market festival held every Culture Day (November 3) at Wakaura Fishing Port in Wakayama City, now in its 41st year. The highlight is direct sales of "Waka-shirasu", the local brand of whitebait landed in Wakaura Bay, alongside freshly caught local seafood, food stalls and a traditional mochi-throwing. Long queues form for the fresh catch, so it suits anyone who wants to pick up whitebait and fish straight from the port, or families looking for a holiday outing by the sea.
