OLD NEW MARKET in Nihonbashi

From 12:00 to 17:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, June 25 and 26, OLD NEW MARKET was held on the road between Cored Muromachi 1 and 2 (Nakadori) and the right side of Fukutoku Shrine (Fukutoku no Mori). Was. This event is held irregularly and this is the 8th time. When I thought that the store was similar to the Oedo Antique Market held next to the Tokyo International Forum, it was a selection from the shoppers of Oedo Antique Market.

Antiques are mainly sold at the Fukutoku no Mori venue. Fukutoku Shrine is the oldest shrine in this neighborhood and was founded in the Heian period. I thought it was something that antiques were sold right next to such an old shrine. It has been learned since ancient times that fairs stand beside shrines and temples. If fair, which has become a bit modern, adds flowers to the bustle of Nihonbashi, God will be delighted and bring happiness to visitors.
