Nijo Market, a vibrant marketplace in central Sapporo, began in the early Meiji era when fishermen from Ishikari Beach started selling fresh fish. Over a century later, it remains a bustling hub for locals and tourists alike. Here, you can find a wide array of Hokkaido specialties, including crabs and scallops, perfect for souvenirs. The market also features "Noren Yokocho," a collection of unique restaurants, making it a popular dining destination alongside Maruyama and Tanukikoji. Open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM (restaurant hours vary), the market is easily accessible and offers a taste of local life and cuisine.
