Shinminato Fishing Port Afternoon Auction Tour
Shinminato Fishing Port in Imizu is one of the prefecture's leading ports, where the day's fresh catch is auctioned. Besides the usual early-morning auction, an afternoon auction starts at 12:30, and with advance booking you can watch it from a visitors' gallery on the 2nd floor, seeing the lively exchanges between auctioneers and buyers up close. The red snow crab ("Koshi no Beni-gani") afternoon auction tours start from September 10, 2026.
