Setouchi Minato Marche
せとうちみなとマルシェ34°04′ N 133°00′ EMarket
Setouchi Minato Marche suits anyone in Imabari on a second or fourth Sunday morning who wants to graze on island fish and citrus by the ferry piers, and its trade-off is that it runs only two mornings a month.
What to order
- Fish from the morning auction, filleted at the market kitchen
- Island citrus in season
The market sets up around Harbary, the black ship-shaped terminal building at Imabari Port, from 9:00 to 14:00 on the second and fourth Sundays, with up to 100 stalls of fish, vegetables, cooked food and crafts. On 11 October 2026 the programme opened with a public fish auction at 9:30 run by the Miyakubo branch of the Ehime fisheries co-op, and the market kitchen would clean and fillet whatever you won. Summer swaps the Sunday mornings for Saturday evening markets on the same weeks. It goes ahead in rain and is called off for storms, with notice on its website and social accounts.
Worth knowing
- The organisers send cyclists to Imabari Port's bicycle parking, and there is no car park for visitors.
- Payment methods vary by stall, so carry some cash.
