Explore UONOTANA Shopping Street & Akashi's Coastal Beauty! 🌊
Take a short walk from JR Akashi Station to the charming UONOTANA Shopping Street, a historic market where you can enjoy food walking just like Osaka's Kuromon Market. This quaint area offers a unique chance to see fresh fish being sold in the traditional Japanese style, with octopus and sea bream being local specialties. The fish sold here is called “hirunami”, meaning freshly caught that very day.
