The entrance is adorned with a giant three-dimensional model of a tuna, and inside the market, there are numerous dining establishments lined up. Among them, the most eye-catching is, of course, the tuna cuisine. In addition to tuna donburi, tuna sashimi, and sushi, there are various rich dishes such as fried tuna, allowing visitors to taste the fresh tuna caught that very day. The meals purchased can be enjoyed in the dining area inside the shop or leisurely on the deck facing the fishing port. There are also shops selling local specialties from Nachikatsuura, as well as stores filled with plush toys, keychains, and other tuna-shaped merchandise, making it a great place to shop for souvenirs. At the back of the market, the "Activity Space" hosts a "Tuna Cutting Show," where visitors can watch through glass as skilled chefs elegantly cut a large tuna into various parts.
