Located steps from JR Otaru Station, Sankaku Market (Triangle Market) is a compact and bustling marketplace offering a taste of local Hokkaido seafood. This vibrant market features narrow aisles lined with vendors selling fresh catches, including crab, shellfish, and sea urchin. Several restaurants within the market specialize in kaisen-don (seafood rice bowls), allowing visitors to enjoy the freshest seafood directly from the source. Be prepared for crowds, especially during peak hours. It's a great place to experience the lively atmosphere of a traditional Japanese fish market and enjoy a delicious seafood meal. Note that the market has a sloped layout, which may present challenges for visitors with strollers or wheelchairs.
