The Kumo marketplace unknown to most is actually a separate island connected to Kumogakure by a small bridge that starts at an area just behind the library and ends at the start of the marketplace island named Hajime island after the current Raikage, the only way to the market place is by this bridge. Any attempt at running across the water surrounding the island will almost always end in failure due to the strong currents and whirlpools that form year round.
There is also a small back bridge that connects back to the Kumo village though its park, giving anyone who spent a long and tiring day at the park a safer and faster way to get home. Both bridges have a small guard of a two man squad of chuunin ranked Kumo shinobi, other than that the marketplace island is protected by the local Anbu of Kumogakure.
There is many assorted shops for the average shinobi to choose from while in the market place, Two of the best known shops to all kumo shinobi are located here. The first being a small blacksmith and weapons shop named Weapons hidden within the mist, for their weapons to be repaired at and also a place to purchase the average shinobi gear that is lost during battle. The second is a small open food market place in the center of the island is where farmers from around the lightning village and beyond come to sell their goods to the people of Kumo.
The market place is open to all those allowed within Kumo, all shinobi are asked to leave any extremely large weapons at home before they come due to the large amounts of villagers here, also the use of jutsu within this area is extremely prohibited unless given express permission by the Raikage. Small weapons such as kunai are allowed, also any Anbu members are unrestricted with all jutsu and weapon restrictions that would effect any standard shinobi.
