Boroichi Market (Dec 15-16): This is one of our favorite markets in Tokyo. Maybe it’s because it only comes around twice a year and our anticipation builds, or maybe it’s because it’s got a fun atmosphere—with cheapo deals awaiting you at every stall, games, food and drink, and a four-century-long history.
