Well .... it's not exactly a street market. It's more a farmer's market. The best, freshest fruit and veggies +++ from around the region. But only open in summer.

Parks & Nature
In the winter you don't see the whole volcano very often, because it's all covered with snow. But in the other seasons, it is just gorgeous to catch the sunrise from behind the mountain.

It's a short drive away -- around 20-30 mins depending on the weather and road conditions -- but it has a variety of supersized shops and some interesting smaller ones. You can buy all your groceries in Kutchan, check out the electronics hypermarkets, or just try a few different restaurants that line the main drag.

This store kind of has everything. If you're looking for toys, check, DIY check (though hopefully in my home you won't need DIY), some ski gear (check), toiletries (check), organic produce (check). You have to try it ... just listen to the music. See how long you last.

Essentials
A selection of the basics if you run out of eggs, milk, bread, cereal, salt, pepper, cigarettes etc. Very near to Forest Hideaway. A few unusual items as well, but pretty standard for a Japanese convenience store.

This is a supermarket. Can buy pretty much everything you need. But bear in mind that this is Japan and so everything is not going to be exactly the same as back home. Try and stock up on the first day.
