Sennan Long Park

Winter is the perfect time to enjoy seafood, especially oysters, when they are at their plumpest and most flavoursome. And you can do just that at the Sennan Oyster Festival, held on weekends and public holidays at Umi no Marche, the seaside seafood market at Sennan Long Park. Festival highlights include the ever-popular Sennan Special Oyster Set Meal, oysters steamed in traditional cans, and the oyster tasting set, which allows you to sample different local and domestic varieties. Other seasonal seafood dishes, such as tempura, udon and rice bowls made with fresh local catches, are also available. Early visitors may even enjoy free oyster soup, served from 11am on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. On selected Sundays (January 25, February 22 and March 22), the festival even features stage shows with taiko drummers and street performers, local sake tasting, and oyster shell craft workshops. There’s also a food rally and lucky draw, with exciting prizes up for grabs. Note: the event may be canceled in the event of severe weather. For the latest updates, check Sennan City’s Instagram.
