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.
