- Today we're at Yamato Curio (Antique) Market*, held right next to Yamato station in Kanagawa Prefecture. It’s held on the third Saturday of each month from 7am-3pm*.
Yamato is only about 45mins on the Odakyu Enoshima Line from Shinjuku so easy to get to from central Tokyo.
Thank you so much for watching and hope you enjoy the content🥰
*Apologies I say "Kominka" at the start of the video, but it's "Komingu - only noticed the slip of the tongue when editing subtitles😂
*Officially open 6am-4pm but most stalls are set up at 7am and they start to pack up around 3pm

Wow what great stuff. I appreciate your closeups and relaxed filming pace. Also love your choice of subjects. I wish I could be there!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment😊Hope you can visit Japan and head to a market here some time!🎶
I lived in Tokyo 4 years (1979 to 1984) and went to "temple markets" every Sunday and to salvation army sales on Saturday mornings. Sometimes I got to the flea market in Kyoto. There were no thrift stores then and no big flea markets that I knew about. There were a lot of small second-hand stores though. I still have most of the things I collected then.
@@user-os2zy2dp6j How wonderful! A far more interesting period of time as an expat to live in Japan for sure. My father (who is British) and I were talking about this just the other day as he moved here in the late 1960s. The second hand stores in the 80s would have been very small "mom & pops" shops. Which, to be honest, is still mainly the case now. Not many large thrift store chains, unless for clothing, high-end brand fashion items, books and white goods/tech. I can imagine you found some incredible treasures in the early 80s! So happy to hear you still have those items😍
I was just recommended your channel by a subscriber that we have in common. They were right - I love your channel! My husband and I have two abandoned homes we're renovating, and we have literally rooms and rooms stacked to the ceiling full of quality vintage items like this (1940s-80s). I'm restoring as much as I can to furnish our guesthouse, but also want to start an online/actual resale shop. We live in a rural area, so I didn't realize there were markets like this in the cities! Thank you for sharing. This is so helpful and fun to see :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment😊How exciting you have so many vintage treasures, and of decent quality too! I'm sure plenty of people both domestic and internationally would be interested in purchasing them. Best wishes to you in both your reselling and guesthouse ventures!🤩🎶
Love your videos, the style you shoot and edit the clips match your narration perfectly.
Personal note: I would have bought all the advertising signs. But I do work in advertising so no surprise there 😂
Please keep making these wonderful videos
Thank you so much for watching and for your encouraging comment. Oooh, good to know you liked the ad signs! Almost edited them out as wasn't sure if they'd be of interest to anyone outside of Japan😅Now I know to always keep them in for future videos. Thank you!😊
This is the first video of yours I've watched and I can tell I will watch all of the rest of them! I can't wait to go thrifting in Japan. 😍
Aw thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment😊Hope you can visit Japan soon!🥰

コメントありがとうございます！マツダランプ、渋いですよね！🤩
The obi and kokeshi are so pretty!!! So jealous of the better quality on the kokeshi, they are resold outside of Japan for really ridiculous prices.
Ooooh that's a shame the quality of kokeshi aren't so good over there😢To be honest the prices and condition can vary here too, but flea markets are a great place to source them inexpensively...just have to dig dig dig to find the good ones!😊
Beautiful and so interesting. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment!😊
Great vid's! Thanks for adding the usd amount!
Thank you so much for watching and for your encouraging comment! Glad the USD amount was useful😊
You mentioned you love and collect Craine items. My grandmother's name was Tsuru. I would love to see your collection. It would remind me of her. Sub and liked, Thank you ~
Thank you for sharing about your grandmother😊Lovely how back in the day there were names like "Tsuru" for girls. My grandmother was born in the Meiji Period and her sister was called "Ume" as in "plum". Super cute! Thanks for watching and for your comment🎶
eu amei tudo que voce comprou
Muito obrigada pelo seu adorável comentário Angela😊Fico feliz que você tenha gostado de todos os itens!🥰
New sub here from Southern Ontario Canada. Enjoying your market!
Thank you so much for watching, subscribing and for your lovely comment!😊🎶
I love your content! I’m a thrifter and reseller from New York City I was in Japan October 2023 there was a Bookoff store close where I was staying I also went to Shimo-Kitazawa bought home lots of great items for resell and I did very well with. I’m going back again October 2024 but won’t be there the 3rd Saturday of the month to go to this market any other good markets to visit? I will be there October 1st-15th thank you for all the great information
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment😊Tomioka Hachimangu holds their antique market (cancelled if raining) on 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th Sunday of the month so that might work. Smaller market than Yamato but. Also try the Oi Racetrack Flea Market (also known as Tokyo City Flea Market).
❤
🥰🙏
I love your informative videoes of beautiful finds. I am going to Japan in April next year and want to go to markets to get some kokeshi dolls, kimonos and love the beads you show today. Is it possible to buy nice Wood Block prints in markets?
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment!🥰Yes, some of the antique markets do sell woodblock prints. Definitely saw some at this one in Yamato. Another place that sells them is Yamada Shoten, a book store in Jimbocho (Tokyo). If you google them, they have a website in English too😊
Thank you so much for your reply😊
No worries! There's some time between now and when you visit Japan so feel free to ask me any questions you may have before your holiday!😊 @@birgitbonde6677
Love your videos! Which market is best to find old papers with kanji, old sake papers, etc.
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment😊Do you mean hanging scrolls like kakejiku? Sometimes see them at antique markets and even at flea markets but they usually have foxing (yellow/brown spots). Paper can get spoiled pretty easily here due to humidity. So if you’re looking for a scroll in good condition if might be better to go to an antique shop or an indoor antique fair✨
🥰😍🤩
🙏😍🙌
Please let's go shopping together when I visit next fall ;)
Hahaha aw thank you for your lovely comment!🤩🎵
@@tokyotique Would you please share the name of the secondhand boutique store that you mention in 16:15...where yo got the purse? Arigato!
Gosh...when I lived in Japan in in the late 60's 1000 yen was $3.60...I lived in Fukuoka on kyushu...hakata was near by where the dolls are made ...
Oh how lovely you lived in Fukuoka! Love Hakata🥰Thank you for watching😊

Thank you for watching and for your comment!😊🎶
Do you ever come across any dual face Oni/Okame Otafuku sake cups?
No, more likely you can find them at antique fairs rather than the markets but will keep a look out!🤓
@@tokyotique they really are good luck. I found one when I was in Japan in 2019. I carried it around in my pocket for a couple years. Long story short: I was working near some high tension cables. One of the cables snapped, and would have probably taken my leg off if the cup had not received all the grunt force of the wire whipping across my leg. The cup was absolutely destroyed, but I came out on top with just a bruised thigh, torn jeans, and an even greater respect for Japanese craftsmanship.
I enjoy your videos btw. I have multiple art degrees, I found myself hooked when you were going through the old and new prints, the ceramics, fabrics, and hand crafted goods. The path to finding a new oni cup has me joyfully obsessed with Yokai now.
Thanks for sharing your interesting story!🤩
Do most Japanese people wear clip on earrings?
Clip ons are still popular here!😊
Just subscribed to your channel. Love your videos. Could you please educate us how to identify the age of antique ceramic pieces? Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment😊I’m not an antique expert though. Will share anything I know or discover through research, but you may want to find a Japanese antique expert channel for detailed information✨
