Kobo-ichi Market at To-ji Temple 🏮✨

Did you know that on the 21st of every month, one of Kyoto’s oldest temples transforms into a massive open-air treasure hunt?

Named after Kobo Daishi (the founder of Shingon Buddhism), this market has a history spanning over 700 years! From vintage kimonos and handcrafted ceramics to antique tea tools and delicious street food, you can find almost anything here.

It’s the perfect place to experience the "real" Kyoto vibes beyond the usual sightseeing. If you're in town on the 21st, don’t miss it!
