Enjoy a hygge day in Tennoz, the city of canals and art. Nordic market "NORDIC JOURNEY" where you can enjoy Nordic vintage items and gourmet food

Two days filled with Scandinavian culture on the canal! Held every February and September

"NORDIC JOURNEY" is the largest Nordic vintage market in Japan, with over 40 vendors from all over the country selling Nordic items. At the venue, "Isle Shinagawa" on the canal, a wide variety of items such as tableware, miscellaneous goods, fabric products, furniture, and food are lined up in a small space.

All of the items are special items that the exhibitors have personally purchased and selected. You can enjoy a special shopping experience while chatting with the unique exhibitors and searching for your own favorite items. Come and browse the store with the feeling that you are finding a treasure.

Information on the dates and exhibitors will be posted on the official Instagram account , so be sure to check it out. Many stores also accept cashless payments, so you can shop with peace of mind even if you find a lot of your favorite items.

A rich selection of colorful tableware and glassware, and the world of precious Nordic vintage items

When you step into the venue, the first thing that catches your eye is the beautiful tableware and glassware.

There is a wide variety of vintage items available, including simple yet nostalgic plates, cute pots with bold patterns and colors, and delicate glassware. If you have your favorite tableware, it will turn even an ordinary meal into a special occasion.

Each exhibitor has their own unique style. There is a store that collects discontinued products from the Finnish tableware brand "ARABIA," and a store that sells glassware by Erik Högland, a representative Swedish glass artist.

Apparently these are very valuable items that are difficult to purchase even in Scandinavia. Hearing the stories behind the items from the exhibitors makes them even more appealing.

There are also textiles and folk crafts. Enjoy interacting with the exhibitors.

They also stock fabric products with Scandinavian designs, such as Moomin and Marimekko, that are easy to use in everyday life.

I also found hand-printed and embroidered textiles made by mothers in Swedish families. They were all delicate and cute, but it turns out you can tell the skill of the embroidery by looking at the back. Skillfully made embroidery is beautiful even when viewed from the back. It warms my heart when I think about who made them. The exhibitors are kind enough to explain each item in detail, so be sure to enjoy the conversation.

Retro and cute! Let's look for rare goods

You can also find rare characters and vintage goods that are not often seen in Japan. There are items such as "Misha the Little Bear" that was created for the 1980 Moscow Olympics, children's toys, gnomes (fairies) and picture books. Many of the items are no longer in production.

There are also small souvenirs such as key chains, pin badges, and stamps available, so why not pick one up as a memento?

Enjoy gourmet food, sports, and music! Spend a day immersed in Scandinavia

There are also shops that sell traditional Nordic sweets and herbal teas, which make great souvenirs or small gifts.

In addition, there will be a variety of food trucks at the outdoor venue where you can enjoy meals.

You can enjoy Nordic delicacies such as lightly roasted coffee known as Nordic roast and Nordic salmon soup.

You can also experience the Finnish sport of "Mölkky" and the background music played at the venue is Nordic pop music, so you can enjoy Nordic culture in addition to shopping.

A special moment that can only be enjoyed on the weekend in Tennoz

The venue, Tennoz Isle, is an area that is currently attracting attention as a waterfront and art town along a canal. It is easily accessible, about 15 minutes by train from Tokyo Station and a monorail from Haneda Airport, and is recommended not only for weekend getaways, but also as a place to stay while sightseeing in Tokyo, and as a final stop before leaving Japan.

Come and enjoy a unique experience, such as searching for Nordic vintage items and cute miscellaneous goods, or enjoying delicious food. In addition to "NORDIC JOURNEY", why not also enjoy a tour of the art in Tennoz and cafes along the canal?
