There are several temples and shrines in Kyoto offering big flea markets every month.
One of the biggest and most popular ones is the one held at the Toji-temple between 8am and 3pm on 21st of each month, except for days with particularly bad weather.
The Toji-temple ,with its five-story pagoda and big golden statue of Buddha, is a World Heritage Site.
It doesn't offer only second-hand goods, but also a variety of antiques, art, and traditional Japanese food stands.
Sometimes you will come across one of the temple's buildings or Japanese garden.
It is a good idea to be there as early as possible , both since the best goods get sold first but also because it is a nice opportunity to take the time to experience the wonderful temple.
Since the things sold there are lot of different kinds, there should be something for any one's taste.
