Hanazono Shrine Sale, Shinjuku Considering Japan is such an organised and punctual place, it can be a little surprising that markets and shrine sales are often cancelled due to weather, holidays and other events, sometimes at a moment's notice. Always call ahead (usually in Japanese), check the weather forecast and find out if there is a holiday or other reason the event is not taking place. Vendors start packing up much earlier than the sales finish, so get there at least a couple of hours before the end to get the best experience. Below is a list of flea markets and shrine/ temple sales I recommend, some are better than others, some are prettier and more relaxing with less vendors, some are busy and vibrant. There are lots more sales around the greater Tokyo area, but let's start with a small list. The times below are subject to change, so don't come at me if you get there and there are no stalls!
