8 best regular and weekly markets in Tokyo

March 24 & 31, April 7 & 14, May 5, 12 & 26

While Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine is worth a visit just for its impressive architecture, the beautiful grounds are also home to a regular antique market that usually takes place on the first, second, fourth and fifth Sunday of every month. However, to make sure the market is on schedule, you can check the website for the exact dates each month.

As this is an antique market, the items here are a bit less junky than some of the other flea markets in town, with plenty of gorgeous Japanese tableware, antique kimono and more.

While the Setagaya neighbourhood is best known for the historical Boroichi flea market that only happens twice a year, there's another (and smaller) market that takes over Setagaya Park on a more regular basis. The Setagaya Park Flea Market is held at least once a month from 9am to 3pm (except between July and September), and features roughly 150 vendors. You can expect a mix of things here, with the majority of vendors selling clothes, accessories and jewellery. Tableware is another common find as well as the odd trinkets and toys.
