💡 Tips for Visitors
The market operates only on Sundays from early morning until around 4-5 PM, with the best selection available before noon. Most vendors are cash-only, so bring plenty of yen. While English is limited, vendors are friendly and patient, and pointing and using a translation app works well for communication.
