Why is Kitakyushu City known as the SUSHI "Kingdom”?

To uncover the reason, we’re making a special visit to the Kitakyushu City Public Regional Fish Market—an area normally restricted to the public!
Experience the thrilling “auction” performed by skilled artisans up close, and feel firsthand the exceptional freshness of top-quality seafood gathered from the Hibiki Sea, the Kanmon Strait, and the Buzen Sea. Furthermore, this tour includes a special visit to the tuna dissection area, where massive tuna are expertly filleted. After witnessing the artisans’ powerful techniques firsthand, you can enjoy a commemorative photo session with them to capture your travel memories.
Following the tour, we’ll serve a breakfast featuring the finest, freshly prepared sushi ingredients. We invite you to enjoy a special experience that engages all five senses—discovering the essence of “Kitakyushu Sushi,” which captivates the world, and the vibrant energy of the market that supports its quality.
