Fodor's Expert Review Sunday Market

Kochi Market

Dating back to the late 17th century, this popular weekly market offers a mile of fruits and vegetables, flowers, snacks, and a smattering of crafts. It's not a great place for souvenir shopping, but why not try some yuzu-an in a pastry pocket? This Kochi specialty replaces the red beans often found in desserts with a paste made from the sour yellow yuzu citrus grown in the prefecture. Nichiyo-ichi runs along broad, palm-lined Otetsuji-dori Street from Harimaya Bridge right up to the gates of Kochi Castle. The 300 or so stalls operate from roughly 6 am to 3 pm.
