Why You Should Visit
A flea market held in the new-annex parking lot of Higashiomi City Hall to cut waste and keep goods in use. 2026 marks the 37th edition. About 60 stalls sell household items people no longer need and handmade eco-friendly goods, and you can chat with the sellers while hunting for finds. There is also a collection corner for aluminium cans and milk cartons. Entry is free, and the market is a manageable size for a relaxed weekend browse with family.
