On December 3rd (Sun), Oedo wholesaler festival! A treasure hunt in Bakurocho, a hot spot

[Shiba Inu] Nov. 28, 2017 14:00

From 9:00 am on Sunday, December 3rd, the annual "Oedo wholesaler festival" will be held!

12.jpg

This festival is held twice a year, and this is the 26th time. Bakurocho, the eastern end of the Nihonbashi district, is a wholesale district that continues from Edo. Normally, the general public does not enter the store, but anyone can shop only on the day of the wholesaler festival! You can enjoy shopping at a surprising wholesale price.

 

Every time, there are fun events such as brass band and samba, and of course there are also delicious food and drink stores (some places where you can sit and rest), and it will be very busy from the morning. In particular, the winter wholesaler festival is very recommended. Because leather goods and cashmere relationships are very cheap! Gloves, stoles, bags, coats, etc. that seem to be "Oh, good" at a glance are sold at a truly surprising price. There are also women's men's items, things that can be worn easily by grandmothers, and stylish ones for young girls. There are also nice miscellaneous goods! Even if you feel like you have become a wholesaler, it is very fun to ladder this shop and shop, and people from all over the country gather.

 

Bakurocho, the stage, is actually an area that is currently attracting attention. It has Nihonbashi in the west and Sumida River in the east, and many historical sites remain. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of high-sense cafes, restaurants, galleries, interior and fashion shops. It can be often visited on TV programs around the city (unfortunately, there are many shops closed on Sunday, so if you are looking for it, please check the opening time!) 。

 

The venue for the wholesaler festival is not just on the website. Detailed maps will be distributed locally, but shops are waiting in a wide range of places. There is also a wonderful shop for people outside the street, so please consult with your physical strength and visit your favorite "Wholesale Street". The mannequins of each store also have their own personality, so be sure to check them out!

 

The nearest stations are Toei Shinjuku Line "Bakuro-Yokoyama Station", Toei Asakusa Line "Higashibashi Station", JR Sobu Line Rapid "Bakurocho Station", Tokyo Bus East 42 "Asakusabashi" (Be careful because it is a bus stop next to "Asakusabashi Station"!) 。 It is about a 5-minute walk from Asakusabashi Station on the JR Sobu Line and Kodemmacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line.

For more information, please visit our website. → Oedo wholesaler festival

 

It's easy to think sober, but I think it's a very interesting and fun event for Chuo-ku finger folding, so please come and visit us. I'm waiting for you!
