Katsuura Morning Market

Located on the southeastern tip of the Bōsō Peninsula, Katsuura is famous for its mild climate-it has never recorded temperatures above 35°C since observations began. In this comfortable setting, the Katsuura Morning Market has been held for over 430 years, dating back to 1591, and is recognized as one of Japan’s Three Great Morning Markets, alongside Wajima (Ishikawa) and Takayama (Gifu).

If you go early in the morning, you can really feel the energy.
All the vendors are super friendly, and listening to them call out while you walk around creates such a fun atmosphere.
There’s a great mix of things for sale: fresh seafood, local fruits and vegetables, pickled side dishes, handmade sweets, and more.
Prices are also much cheaper than in typical tourist areas!

Koyasan isn't a place to just 'have fun'—it's somewhere to reflect and experience. Everyone should visit at least once.

I originally wanted to visit Blue Bottle Coffee, but the line was just too long. So I came to Allpress instead and ordered a Flat White—it was surprisingly delicious.

This place is best for people who can read Japanese. But even just taking photos around the outside of the museum is pretty nice.
