Our guide
Himi Fishing Port, on Toyama Bay, lands more fish than any other port in Toyama Prefecture, and what comes in changes with the seasons: sardines in spring, tuna in summer, and yellowtail from autumn into winter. The winter yellowtail caught here is sold under its own brand name, Himi Kanburi. The auctions are held at the port's fish market.
If you are planning a trip around food, winter is the season of its branded yellowtail. We have not checked auction times or whether visitors can watch them, so ask locally before building a morning around it. Himi Station is about 1.7 km away in a straight line.
