On the 25th of every month, I go to the Tenjin Market at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine.

The 25th is the birthday and monthly death anniversary of Sugawara no Michizane, the deity enshrined at Tenmangu Shrine. It is said that a festival day began to be held on the 25th as many people visit the shrine every month to pray. The festival day is affectionately called "Tenjin-san," and the approach to the shrine and grounds are lined with stalls selling antiques, used clothing, handmade crafts, and more. December and January are the busiest months, famous for "Owari Tenjin" and "Hatsu Tenjin," and are visited by many people from locals to tourists.

In search of travel memories and your own treasures.

There are numerous stalls selling all sorts of things, from small dishes to nostalgic toys, kimono scraps, and used clothing. You can have a great time just walking around and browsing each one. There are also many shops selling fashionable accessories such as antique tableware and accessories. Come and find a treasure and a memento of your trip!

Retro sign, a clock that doesn't work?

There are retro Showa era signs and ornaments, as well as a giant clock that doesn't work! It might be fun to search for your favorites from a box full of cufflinks!
