The Toji Temple Antique and Handicraft Market pulls in collectors, designers, and curious travelers to Kyoto, Japan, on the first Sunday of every month. Across the temple grounds, vendors set up stalls selling secondhand ceramics, vintage clothing, woodblock prints, and handmade crafts—each piece reflecting centuries of Japanese artistry. If you're hunting for antiques or art and design pieces, you can dig through stalls piled with textiles, lacquerware, and small household appliances.
