Our guide
Kesennuma's fish market stands on Kesennuma Fishing Port, at the inner end of Kesennuma Bay in Miyagi Prefecture. The port is one of the main landing ports for boats working the Sanriku coast, counted among the world's great fishing grounds, and a base for Japan's distant-water tuna fleet. The market reopened in June 2011, three months after the tsunami.
We have not checked market hours or whether visitors can watch the auctions, so ask locally before planning an early start around it. Kesennuma Station is about 1 km away in a straight line.
