Toji Temple Market
Cordelia DingHeld once every month at Toji Temple, is the famous Toji Temple Market. Toji Temple is located one station away from Kyoto Station on the Kintetsu-Kyoto Line, and is most famous for its five-story pagoda that is often featured on Kyoto Travel Guides. The 57m pagoda is actually the tallest pagoda in all of Japan! On the 21st of each month, hundreds and hundreds of vendors line up their vending stalls as early as 8:00 or 9:00 AM, and negotiate with buyers until roughly around 4:00 PM. This market is one of the rare markets in Japan where bargaining and negotiating is possible, so do not be afraid to ask and haggle for a lower price!
