Ajio Sunday Market

Event Overview

Located right next to the Ajiio Fishing Port in Atami City, Shizuoka, the "Ajiio Sunday Market" is a popular event where you can directly enjoy the freshest local seafood. The venue, situated beside the port, features a variety of morning-caught fish, popular local dried fish (himono), and traditional Japanese sweets. It is a lively market event where you can do more than just shop—you can enjoy cooking your finds right on the spot.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The biggest draw is the incredible freshness. You can purchase freshly caught fish or dried seafood and have it grilled at the designated grilling stations within the venue. Enjoying hot, savory seafood while feeling the sea breeze is a truly special experience. You can also enjoy local traditional flavors, such as Japanese sweets with a 150-year history. There is also a dedicated kids' space with activities like ring toss and target shooting, making it a perfect outing for families.

Schedule

The event will be held on October 11, 2026. The operating hours are from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. We recommend arriving in the morning to secure the freshest ingredients. Please note that the event will be canceled in the event of rain (the backup date is November 8).

Venue & Access

The venue is the open space next to the Ajiio Fishing Port. To get there, take the JR Ito Line from JR Atami Station and get off at JR Aji Station. From the station, it is approximately a 10-minute walk to the venue. As parking spaces are limited, using public transportation is highly recommended.

Tips for Visitors

If you plan to eat your fresh fish or dried seafood on-site, keep in mind that there is space available to use the grilling stations for a smooth experience. You can also enjoy various alcoholic and soft drinks alongside your meal. For those traveling with children, checking the location of the kids' area (featuring games like target shooting and scooping colorful balls) in advance will ensure a fun time for the whole family.

What to Bring & Etiquette
