Hirome Market
More than a "market," Hirome Market has an atmosphere that's more like a village of street stalls. Including places selling a local Kochi specialty "katsuo no tataki" (seared bonito), there are over 60 shops gathered here, including unique variety shops.
Inside the market, there are tables and chairs for almost 400 people where visitors can freely eat and drink what they purchase.
Well-frequented by locals, there are times when someone sitting next to you will start up a friendly conversation.
