Fresh Fish Fiesta & Festive Cheer at Osaka Hokko Marina This December!
Get ready for a unique holiday experience at the Osaka Hokko Marina this December 21st! Enjoy the freshest catches of the day directly from the fishermen of Izumisano Fishing Port, one of Senshu’s most productive fish markets, while soaking in the festive atmosphere.
What sets this Uoichi apart? Not only can you buy incredibly fresh, reasonably priced seafood directly from the source, but the fishermen will even clean your purchases for free! Skip the messy prep and head straight to the delicious part.
Beyond the market, the park will be buzzing with activity. Warm up with a comforting bowl of ara-jiru (fish head soup), savor delectable seafood bowls, and indulge in freshly grilled turban shells and oysters. For the little ones (and the young at heart!), there’s even fish scooping!
But that’s not all! This year’s Uoichi features a special holiday treat: a live Christmas concert by the Nishi-kujo Junior Wind Orchestra. Experience the enchanting sounds of the steel pan, a unique pitched percussion instrument originating from Trinidad and Tobago. It’s the perfect blend of festive cheer and cultural discovery.
Early Bird Clam Grab: Be one of the first 100 visitors to follow Osaka Hokko Marina’s official Instagram, "like" the designated post, and show your screen at the event starting at 8:00 AM to receive a numbered ticket for the "Asari Clam Grabbing" event.
