Miyamaedaira Walking Guide — Three Stops Around the North Wholesale Market

Around Miyamaedaira Station there are three walking spots, ranging from a wholesale market to the eateries inside it. At the center is the Kawasaki City Central Wholesale Market North Market, which opened in 1982, with two places to eat housed in its affiliated building and food court. The affiliated building and food court are open to the general public from 8:00 to 13:00, which makes this a morning-to-midday walk.

The suggested order is to walk the market grounds first, then stop at Chorishitsu Ikeda in the affiliated building, and finish upstairs at Shokujidokoro Sakamoto on the third floor of the food court. All three spots share the same address — 1-1-1 Mizusawa, Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki — so there is barely any walking between them.

Kawasaki City Central Wholesale Market North Market

A wholesale market that opened in 1982, and the starting point for a walk in this area. Alongside the produce, seafood and flower buildings, there is an "affiliated building" handling foods such as tea and sweets as well as packaging materials. That affiliated building and the food court are open to general customers from 8:00 to 13:00, and there is visitor parking for around 80 cars. The appeal here is getting to walk, as an ordinary shopper, through a place where professionals do their buying.

Chorishitsu Ikeda

An eatery in the affiliated building of the North Market. Breakfast ends whenever it sells out — reason enough to head into the market first thing. On Saturdays last orders run until 14:00, so the weekend window is a little longer. Fueling up here before walking the market grounds makes the rest of the route easy.

Shokujidokoro Sakamoto

An eatery on the third floor of the North Market's food court. The signature dish is deep-fried tuna tartare at ¥250. It opens from 8:30 on Saturdays, so it is another option if you are heading out first thing on a weekend. To reach the food court, using the rooftop parking of the affiliated building is convenient, which also suits anyone arriving by car.

A closing tip

In Miyamaedaira, timing decides everything. The affiliated building and food court are open to the public from 8:00 to 13:00, Chorishitsu Ikeda's breakfast ends when it sells out, and Sakamoto opens at 8:30 on Saturdays — every detail points the same way: the earlier you go, the more choices you have. Walk the market buildings in the morning light, then close the loop with ¥250 tuna tartare. That alone fills a half day here.
