Morning Markets and Flea Markets
For a deeper understanding of the local products made in Funabashi and markets by many local residents, Funabashi City holds the morning markets and flea markets.
Funabashi Morning Market
It is held irregularly at Funabashi Daijingu Shrine 5 or 6 times per year.
The products sold are limited to those made in Funabashi, and products such as local vegetables grown in Funabashi and seafood caught in Funabashi Harbor can be seen displayed. Local restaurants also participate in the markets, so customers can enjoy eating agricultural and marine products while buying local fresh ingredients.
Funabashi Flea Market
The Funabashi Regional Wholesale Market is open to the public during events held in even-numbered months (6 times per year).
Foods such as fresh seafood, fruits, vegetables, and tuna at bargain prices are sold especially for the event. It is an event full of appeal, as free specialities from Funabashi are distributed to customers on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers can enjoy shopping in a festival-like atmosphere full of energy.

The road is known as Yamaguchi Yokocho, since the Emperor Meiji once stayed at the house of Jokichi Yamaguchi, now a traditional hotel or ryokan named "Sakuraya."
