Savor authentic local Kushiro cuisine

MOO is a commercial complex located along the shore of Kushiro River. The first floor contains a shopping zone where visitors may purchase seafood, liquor, crafts, and the like. From mid May through October, the 'Ganpeki Robata' is also open, offering a chance to enjoy seafood freshly landed at Kushiro Port as robatayaki (a style of Japanese barbecue). On the second floor, experience 'Minatono-Yatai', a food court styled after traditional Japanese festival street stalls, where you can enjoy local favorites such as Kushiro's famous 'zangi' (fried chicken) and 'sanmanma' (rice-stuffed, grilled pacific saury).

The fully glass-walled botanical garden, 'EGG'

Adjacent to the commercial complex is 'EGG', a fully glass-walled botanical garden. EGG stands for 'EverGreen Garden', and as the name suggests, features the flowers of plants such as camellia, winter daphne, rhododendron, and dogwood, as well as the vibrant foliage of about forty species of large plants, ranging from bamboo to tall-growing trees over five meters in height. This restful space is enjoyed by Kushiro locals and tourists alike. During holidays, concerts and events are sometimes held at EGG.

A perfect vantage point for Kushiro's breathtaking sunsets

Kushiro's sunset is so breathtakingly beautiful that it is known as one of the world's greatest three sunsets. With unique beauty changing by season, Kushiro's sunsets are a year-round attraction for photographers from across the nation. Throughout Kushiro are a number of notable sunset photography locations, including MOO. Truly impressive scenes await overlooking Nusamai Bridge crossing the mouth of Kushiro River, together with the coming and going of fishing boats. MOO offers several vantage points, such as the apron plaza in front, or the tourism exchange corner on the second floor. Each has its own unique appeal, so we recommend trying them all to find the sunset view which best suits you.

You'll find everything from seafood to sweets

Kushiro Washo Ichiba Market is affectionately known by citizens as 'Kushiro's Kitchen', and is also considered to be among Hokkaido's three greatest markets, together with Hakodate Asaichi Market and Sapporo Nijo Market. The marketplace includes about 50 shops, offering Kushiro's famous fresh seafood, processed marine products, dried foods, quality meats, vegetables, fruits, sweets, and much more. Please note that some shops accept cash payments only, so we recommend confirming details online in advance.

History of Kushiro Washo Ichiba Market

Around 1952, a group began selling merchandise from hand-drawn carts in Kushiro. These people were the trailblazers for what would become Washo Ichiba Market. However, exposed to the rain and wind, outdoor sales proved to be a challenge. In 1954, their dreams of a reliable sales venue unaffected by the weather -- and free of the worry of being asked to go elsewhere -- came true with the creation of the 'Kushiro Ekimae Washo Cooperative', which later became Washo Ichiba Market. The spirit of earnest effort and dedication to honest business of these predecessors is still carried on today, maintaining strong bonds of trust with Kushiro locals.

Pick your own toppings for 'Katte-don', a market specialty

Kushiro Washo Ichiba Market is perhaps most famous for its specialty of 'katte-don' (literally, 'bowl of rice your way'). In this unique system, you purchase a bowl of steamed rice from one of the market delicatessens, and then tour the market, visiting stalls such as fish dealers and fish egg specialists in search of toppings for your own personalized kaisen-don (sashimi-topped rice bowl). Ingredients are sold by weight or by the slice, so you are free to mix and match any items that suit your fancy, or indulge by simply loading up on your favorite. When you are ready to enjoy your creation, the shops will also provide wasabi and soy sauce. We recommend adding kani-jiru (crab soup) and tsukemono (pickles) to create a full meal of truly local flavors.
