The Asaichi (morning market) is a must to visit among sightseeing spots in Wajima. It is one of the top three morning markets in Japan with a long history. It has been about 1,000 years old since it started in the Heian Period and is held almost every morning now. Street stalls open next to each other since early morning, and around 8 o'clock, there are about 200 stalls. It starts with the energetic and cheerful voice of farmers, fishermen, and their wives. Fresh food, of course, and more products, such as local specialty, "Wajimanuri (Wajima lacquerware)," dried fish, folk articles, clothes, etc. There are places to eat and drink, too. You can enjoy eating as you go for a walk.
