Japan’s frozen-tuna capital, and the single best food stop within walking distance of the gangway. Two buildings — Ichiba-kan (market stalls, gifts) and Maguro-kan (restaurants). Go before 11:30 or after 13:30 to dodge the local lunch rush.
Cruise tip: on Wednesdays the market building rests — shift your tuna plan to Sushi Yokocho at Dream Plaza.
