Land of the Orient Pearl meets Land of the Rising Sun

Land is the secure ground of home. Sea is like life, full, the outside, the unknown. Another escapade experience where you can enjoy food in JP. This is all about sea creatures that can be found in this big fish market of Japan. The Tajiri Port. Aside from Fisherman's Wharf in Shirahama, Eric and I used to visit this big market in Osaka. This place is popular where fishing port is just beside markets and dining where adults and children can indulge in saltwater pond fishing. It is Located near Kansai International Airport.
