We love a flea market here at Tokyo Cheapo, and this one is made for creatives and artists.
What to expect
Young talented Japanese artists set up stalls and sell everything from rings and pottery to art materials. There will also be workshops and opportunities to chat with fellow creatives.
This event takes place at the same time as the Kirameki Art Festival.
Suggested Activity
Sumo Morning Practice Tour at Stable in Tokyo
Try this insider’s experience at a sumo wrestler morning practice session. Enjoy exclusive access to a sumo stable, watching as these massive athletes put themselves through their daily training regimen and go head-to-head.
Schedule
The market will take place each weekend (including holidays) from February 10 to 25.
Each weekend will have a different highlight:
- Week 1 (Feb. 10–12): Expect unique products from creative collective Catharsis no Kishibe as they mix “data” with other materials.
- Week 2 (Feb. 17–18): Find pottery, jewelery, and other beautiful crafts.
- Week 3 (Feb. 23–25): See (and buy) inexpensive pieces filled with playful elements from art school graduates.
How to get there
The market will be held at Hello Bee in Ikenohata. It is less than a 5-minute walk from Nezu Station and is near Ueno Park.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
