Mikoda morning market

During the feudal period, there were markets all over Morioka Castle. Much of it has been lost to the times, but Morioka still has a simple and humane market. The Mikoda morning market, which has been popular as the citizens' kitchen for many years, is the largest cooperative type market in Japan. If you turn down an alley in a complicated residential area at 5 a.m., you'll find vegetables, wild plants, fresh flowers, fruits, pickles, and more lined up on mats spread out by farmers. Here is a nostalgic look at Morioka.
