Why You Should Visit
A marche and flea market in Okazaki Park, right by the towering torii gate of Heian Jingu. Handmade work and workshops, antiques and second-hand goods, flowers and clothing fill the park alongside food tents and kitchen cars. It sits in the middle of the Okazaki museum-and-zoo district, so it slots neatly into a day of shrine visits and galleries. Open 9:00 to 17:00, with shade to browse under.
