The Fish Restaurant and Marketplace

Kanaya, Futtsu, Chiba 299-1861, Japan

The Fish is an enormous complex on the Chiba side of Tokyo Bay. While the restaurant attracts tour buses, they are dropping off Japanese diners and shoppers, not Westerners. The restaurant serves impeccably fresh seafood, and the marketplace offers freshly made treats and, pictured here, enormous quantities of peanuts and peanut products. The homey Kanaya Museum across the street adds to the allure of a Chiba Prefecture day trip from Tokyo.
