Held on a monthly basis, the Antique Fair at Gokokuji Temple gathers around 25-40 dealers selling principally Japanese products. Travelers who are looking for typical Japanese items to bring back home, generally have a great deal of fun at the Gokoku-Ji Antique Fair.

Generally speaking, a trip to a Japanese flea market offers a good opportunity to learn about a different culture and history. The Gokoku-Ji Antique Fair used to be very busy until recently, as the number of vendors and shoppers visiting the flea market, seems to have dropped over the past year.

The temple was built at the wish of Keishoin the mother of the fifth shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi in 1681. Its main hall is the oldest wooden temple building in Tokyo which survived the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and WWII.

"Reserving flights 8 to 9 months in advance helps me manage my airfare expenses. Even in the best of times, many of the markets I follow in France don't publish their plans that far in advance. Fleamapket provides the newest information, well before I can find it online."
