Our guide
The Yobuko Morning Market is held on Asaichi-dōri in Yobuko, Karatsu, Saga. In size and history it comes only after the markets of Wajima, Katsuura and Takayama, and it is sometimes counted among Japan's four great morning markets.
The site of Nagoya Castle in Hizen Province is about 2.7 km away in a straight line. We have not checked the market's hours or a public-transport route, so look for local information before you go.
