Today we're at Japan’s largest outdoor antique market with around 250 booths. Usually held on the first and third Sunday of each month* from 9am4pm, cancelled if raining. To avoid disappointment, do check their website before going, whether it's rain or shine!
*not held in August due to heat

Some stalls start packing up around 3pm so would suggest not to leave it too late in the day to go.
Estimated prices are noted in USD($) (exchange rate in 2024) to help convert into your own currency.
Thank you so much for watching and hope you enjoy the content
