Because each booth is operated by a wide variety of businesses and individuals, the items that are available will be largely dependent on your luck.
Visiting an antique market is a fun experience during which you have the opportunity to walk around and seek encounters with objects such as secondhand plates, cameras, and accessories, or old advertisements and signs.
Interacting with shop owners is one of the joys of antique markets.
It’s fun asking them what the objects are and how to use them.
It is even possible to negotiate prices at some shops.
I recently bought a basket that looks perfect for picnics for about 2,000 yen.
It looks sturdy, and it will probably be possible to use it for a long period of time.
Because antique markets are usually held on weekends, remember to keep this in mind when you are planning your trip if you would like to visit.
You are sure to enjoy a visit to an antique market if you like shopping.
The Oedo Antique Market that is held in Marunouchi and Yoyogi Park is easy to access, so make sure to check it out if you plan on visiting Tokyo!
