Hokkaido Official Tourism Site HOKKAIDO LOVE!

Experience the essence of Kushiro’s port town at Kushiro Fisherman’s Wharf MOO, a lively destination at the foot of Nusamai Bridge featuring fresh seafood markets, nostalgic food stalls, and open-air charcoal grilling.

Located beside Nusamai Bridge—one of Hokkaido’s most iconic landmarks—MOO embodies the spirit of the city’s waterfront. This three-story destination invites visitors into the local food culture, especially robatayaki, the charcoal-grilling style said to have originated here.

On the first floor, a bustling fish market greets you with vibrant displays of horsehair crab, glistening salmon roe, and plump scallops from Kushiro Port. The scent of the ocean and lively vendor calls create an atmosphere full of local energy. On the second floor, “Minato no Yatai” evokes the charm of Showa-era food stalls, filled with the aroma of grilled dishes and steam from local specialties. For a more relaxed experience, head to the third-floor “Kushiro Kiri no Beer Garden,” where tender lamb jingisukan is served alongside sweeping harbor views.

From mid-May to late October, the seasonal “Ganpeki Robata” along the waterfront is a must. The crackle of charcoal, the aroma of grilling seafood, and the cool sea breeze create a truly memorable experience. Savor freshly grilled seafood as the sun sets over the port—an unforgettable highlight of any visit to Kushiro.
