The small shrine known as Taishogun in north central Kyoto holds periodic flea markets in its narrow complex.
It is close to Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, which holds a much better known flea market held on the 25th of every month.
Kitano Tenmangu's Tenjin-san; Kobo-san, the flea market held on the 21st of every month at Toji Shrine; and Hyakumanben are the Big Three of Kyoto flea markets.
However, small markets flourish.
Taishogun is one example, and worth a visit.
On the first Sunday of every month, from 9 am - 4 pm, a low-key flea market takes place. Sellers spread out tarps and place their goods on top.
Recently, musicians have been hired to entertain. The accordian-playing woman was friendly and talented.
