Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment! Aw that's lovely to hear it feels like you're visiting the market in person. This one's particularly charming! Hope you can venture to it on one of your trips to Japan😊

Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment😊Takes so long to make each video, if only I had the time!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and hope you have a wonderful time thrifting and antiquing when you visit again next year!😊🎶

Hi Nancy! Super happy to hear you’ve been enjoying your time in Japan and also that the weather held up for your market visit today! Glad you’re checking out Fudaten as the atmosphere is so relaxing and has more of a local market feel than the larger ones. Look forward to hearing what treasures you find!🥰

Most likely!😊Lists for markets are in a link in the description box below. Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for another kind message!💕

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment🥰I’ve shown lacquerware before, mainly Kamakura-bori style as we get that in this region the most😊

Thank you and your friends for watching and for your kind words! Like so many of us, I'm not so fond of listening to my own voice😅so I'm super grateful for your encouraging comment in that regard! Many thanks again😊

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I appreciate it very much!🥰

Hilarious and cute!😍😂

Hi Sara! Thank you so much for watching as always🥰Mini kokeshi are so adorable aren’t they 😍

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind and thoughtful comment😊Your written English is perfect so I'm sure you speak it very well too! Thank you again and best of luck in your studies✨

Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment!🥰Won’t be making specific “how to identify” videos at this time as I’m not an expert. But I always share snippets of info I know or research as I go along in the videos😊

Thank you so much!😍I have my reasons why I don't make specific "how to identify" content, even though those types of videos have a far wider reach and more views. Will sometimes add a bit of identification at the end though, like the short synopsis about woodblock prints in the Jimbocho video. Already filmed some kokeshi footage so there'll be some info (in brief) at some point!

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment! I've had tour guests in the past who come to Japan with clothes they can throw out after wearing to make space for everything they want to take home!😄Hope you find some more lovely items on your next visit to Japan🥰

Thank you so much for another lovely comment🥰There's very little space in our Tokyo homes so I try to be selective...however, during the edit I'm constantly saying "ugh, you totally should've bought that!"😅Thank you again for watching😊

Oh how interesting! I wonder what kind of food was in the boxes. Here it would’ve been rice-based. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment!😊

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind encouraging comment🥰This market’s so aesthetically beautiful it’s great to film! I have a fluid art channel which I started during the pandemic but not so active on there these days😅It’s called @michellenagisaart 🌸😊

Thank you so much Rachel!😍

Thank you so much! Hope you find some lovely ones during your visit!😍

Hi Nancy! Fudaten is from 7am-3pm, Oedo (Intl Forum) is from 9am-4pm (officially, but some stalls start packing around 1-2pm). Are you an early riser? If so, perhaps Fudaten first for a peaceful morning, then onto Oedo...the latter is always crowded and although a beautiful market, definitely caters more for tourists, both from abroad and domestic. Alternatively, you could hit Oedo at 9am, leave at 11am and arrive Chofu/Fudaten around 12pm. Again, some stalls there may start packing up from 1pm, but it's a much smaller market and could be a nice palate cleanser after all the humans at Oedo😊If you're a walker, then Jindaiji Temple is about another 20min walk from there. You could do that after and enjoy one of their many soba noodle shops for a late lunch. For transfer between the two, could be easier to use Otemachi station instead of Yurakucho (this is for the Intl Forum), then you only need to use 2 trains. Marunouchi line (Metro) and the Keio Line (change at Shinjuku station). This'll make you feel better...Tomioka antique market is NOT operating for all of November✨ Thank you so much for your support from the channel's humble beginnings. I always truly appreciate your heartfelt comments🥰Hope you have a marvelous time here Nancy!❤️

@@tokyotique thank you for your insight. I’m def an early riser so I think I can make it to both. Really appreciate the advice. All the best to you.

Thank you so much for finding the channel and for your lovely comment! Super happy you enjoyed this market and found the additional information useful🥰Thank you again for your kind words!😊

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. This market is held on the second Sunday of the month…so while you’re here (Nov 10)!! It’s a much more cozy experience than Oedo, less stalls (around 50) and not touristy. Another small market that will be operating while you’re in Tokyo is Sugamo Flea, on Mon 11/4. I’m fond of this one too. There are a couple links in the description box of all videos that list markets in Tokyo which you can check against the dates you’re here. Hope that helps and that the weather is good while you’re here!☀️

@@tokyotique Fantastic. That’s really appreciated. Thank you 🙏

Hi Helle! Thank you so much🥰The birdsong definitely added to the relaxing ambience of this market🎵So glad you enjoyed hearing it!💞

Thank you so much for watching and for kindly subscribing!🥰

Hi Rachel! Thank you very much for watching as always🥰Oooh how exciting you’re coming here soon. Hope you can visit a market or two while you’re here and pick up some lovely items to take home with you!😊

Hi Kathy! Thank you so much for watching as always😍The reason why I don’t advertise my Mercari Japan account on here because it’s not only focused on Japanese antiques and vintage - I sell everything and anything on there I’m including second-hand items my family no longer need😊Most of the recent Japanese vintage I’m picking up is going in the international shop (website almost done). Was there something specific that you’d like to purchase? I think we’re connected on Instagram maybe? If so we can chat there. Thank you so much for inquiring!🥰

Thank you for so much for watching! Glad you liked the birdsong😊

Aw thank you so much Peter! What a lovey comment. Very much appreciate your kind words🥰

Thank you as always Heather! That's very kind of you🥰The channel is super new, only started this January with not that many videos published (takes about 30hrs to edit so haven't been able to post as consistently as I'd like). I also watch reseller videos from other countries and stop and pause the video when I spot a Japanese treasure! Old photographs are such a joy to find, especially in our increasingly digital age😊

Aw thank you so much Deb for your kind encouraging words🥰So happy to hear you had many special moments visiting our markets! Thank you again for watching😊

いつもビデオをご覧いただき、ありがとうございます。木彫りの阿弥陀如来、とても気に入っております🥰

Hi Jenny! Thank you so much for watching the video and all the items so closely!😍Hadn't seen anything similar to the square wood box with handle before, so did a Google Search. It's an old-school measuring tape! You may have noticed there was a hole in the side? A piece of rope comes out of that that which was used to make the measurements😊You're correct about the pictures being animation cels. I'm not sure from which anime either. I'll have to let the ukiyo-e ehon seller know! He'll be super happy to hear it was your favourite in the video!🥰

@@tokyotique wow! I never would have guessed it was a tape measure! I thought it was for grinding something. Amazing. Please do let the seller know the books are my favorite! 😊

Thank you so much for your lovely words and continuing to view the content. Your encouraging comment means a lot!🥰

Oh noooo, so sad to hear about Camden Market. Lived within walking distance some 20 years ago so expected some change, but sounds like the character of the place has been lost😞Thank you for letting me know Michelle! Super happy you loved your experience in Tokyo last year! Yes, you'll have to visit again!🥰

@@tokyotique The antique market is still there in the Stables & the stall where you can buy those vintage postcards. Got some in my visit last December. But @michellebelden1867 is right, there are so many touristy stalls selling the same tatt, just bypass them to get to the good stuff 🤗

Thank you so much Yuki! Happy you enjoyed this market and the antiques shown!🥰

Hi Nancy❣️Oh yay! Hope the weather's good the entire time you're visiting😊 I'm sure you'll find some lovely treasures at Yamato market. It's less commercial than Oedo market and generally better-priced. Looking forward to hearing what treasure you find!🥰

Thank you so much for your comment🥰Hope you can visit some of Japan's markets sometime!😊

Absolutely! You won't be disappointed😊Thank you so much for watching and for your comment🎶

Hi Jenny! Thank you so much for coming back to the channel🥰If filming, I go on my own as it can take a long time to take footage, waiting to make sure I'm not in the way of other shoppers. I usually take a large backpack to keep my hands free😊

Aw thank you so much for your support Natasha!🥰Should be another market video up this week😊

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment!😊

Thank you so much for watching!🥰A lot of things I’m already familiar with, being half Japanese and born here…everything else is through research😊

Thank you so much for watching!🥰Be warned…once you open that door to kokeshi collecting, it’s hard to stop😁They’re just too cute😍

Thank you so much for watching and for your encouraging comment!🥰Hope you find some treasure before the Car Boot season completely ends!

Hi Helle! Thank you so much!🥰

Thank you so much Yuki for your kind and sweet comment. Your encouraging words meant a lot to me!🥰Hope to bring you more thrifting and antiquing content very soon😊Thanks again!

Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind comment Peter!😊

Hi Heather! Thank you so much and hope you enjoyed your September visit🥰 Exactly, it was a loooong sweaty summer. In terms of yen prices, they're always already in the video footage, on labels and signs which is where I make conversions from. The second most country I'm watched from, believe it of not...is Japan. So local residents also look at the yen within the footage. This particular video had less close ups because it was too hot to be near the concrete ground for long, the items themselves were baking, and my hands were sweating😁Have a good weekend!✨
