Why You Should Visit
A neighbourhood-wide flea market along Nozato Kaido, an old highway northeast of Himeji Castle that still keeps its historic streetscape. Households and shops along the road lay out things from their storehouses, closets and cupboards—too good to throw away—on their doorsteps. The route runs about 1.5 km from Itokuji-cho in the north to Sakai-machi in the south, so rather than one gathering point it is a walk where you spot the houses marked with the shared poster like a treasure hunt. The sellers are Nozato's residents and shopkeepers, so the old streets and the conversations are as much the draw as the price tags. Held in rain. No parking; come by public transport or use nearby coin parking, and bring a shopping bag.
NOTE
How it works
