Gozare-Ichi Antique Flea Market

On Sunday, my wife and I went to Takahata Fudoson Temple in Hino- a suburb west of Tokyo. They hold an antique flea market (Gozare Ichi) every third Sunday of the month.  We enjoyed a beautiful outing browsing antiques.




Many stalls of antiques were there.



HIJIKATA Toshizo, a legendary swordsman at the end of Tokugawa Era was born in this area.
