Kyoto Flea Market - Hokoku Shrine

And yes, I bought a vintage kimono. I wore it tonight whilst swilling Verve from the bottle (well close, from a wine glass). I also bought more vinyl. I am stupid.

  2. Hi Maryvonne

    When I was in Kyoto I telephone the tourist information centre to ask what markets were on. They have a list of all the flea markets, and there are good ones on all the time:
    JR Kyoto Station Building 9 F
    Telephone :
    075-344-3300

    Otherwise a good flea market is Toji held on 21st of each month and this wiki article talks about another held on 25th of each month. Hope that helps!
