Antiques Market at Toji Temple, Kyoto City

Some of the Temples and Shrines in Japan are known to hold antiques and flea markets on their grounds once or twice every month, usually on Sundays.

The antiques market that is held on first Sunday of every month at Toji Temple in Kyoto City is one such famous markets. In fact I was told that New York Times Travel Section once did a story on this market. Some of the foreign tourists visiting this market also told me that they came specifically to see this market and that if you know your antiques, you can find some great bargains here.

If you are not into antiques, you can walk around and check out the Toji Temple Pagoda and the associated buildings. Toji Temple Pagoda is the tallest wooden pagoda in Japan. Check out my video about this in my channel if you get a chance.

This video is my walk through of the Toji Temple Antiques market and some portion of the many antiques shops on this particular day. Enjoy!!!
