Karoichi is a vibrant seafood market set adjacent to Tottori Port (Karo Port) that’s making a splash with the local catch from the harbor. Swing by here for freshly landed, succulent seafood from Karo Port across all year including hatahata fish and mosa shrimp in spring and autumn, premium iwagaki oysters known as Natsuki and white squid in summer, and Matsuba crab in winter.

Inside the market you’ll find heaps of different eateries that double as a perfect lunch or casual street-eats snack. Kaiyotei is one buzzing spot equipped with natural seawater tanks so you can enjoy live fish prepared to order. There’s also a specialty store selling tofu-chikuwa (tofu-fishcake) and a souvenir corner, making shopping and casual dining equally enjoyable.

The Karoichi website’s online shopping is also popular, offering advance orders for sought-after seafood such as iwagaki oysters and Matsuba crabs even before their official season begins. Next door, the Tottori Karo Kanikko-kan features a free mini aquarium that’s especially family-friendly, complete with special corners to interact with local crabs and fish. Seasonal events like fresh fish fairs and shell-opening experiences further enrich the appeal, making Karoichi a place you'll want to revisit, whether as a local marketplace or a travel destination.

    The happiness of walking in and being surrounded by the smell of the sea is just amazing.
    It really makes your eyes light up and your appetite kick in.

    This place is right by Tottori Port, and the seafood delivered fresh from the daily catch is unbelievably fresh.
    Especially during the much-anticipated Matsuba crab season, it's packed with delicious things to enjoy.
