Vintage, thrift and handmade — a weekend flea market in Shibuya
Vintage & Artisan Market is an open-air market held on weekends at Kitaya Park in Shibuya, Tokyo. Sellers bring second-hand and vintage clothing, antiques and small retro objects, and handmade work by Japanese makers. Entry is free for visitors and no booking is needed, so you can simply walk in on your way through Shibuya.
Next market: Sunday, 13 September 2026, from 12:00.

Vintage shopping in Shibuya
Shibuya and neighbouring Harajuku are where most visitors go vintage shopping in Tokyo. The area’s permanent second-hand and thrift stores are spread across Cat Street and the streets around Miyashita Park, and you walk between them. This market is the weekend version of that: independent sellers of used clothing, antiques and handmade work, side by side in one public park a few minutes from Shibuya Station.
If you are already walking between Shibuya Station, Miyashita Park and Cat Street, the park is on the way.
How the market works
Every seller applies in advance and is selected by the organisers, so this is not a car-boot sale of household cast-offs. Clothing sellers hang their stock on rails and the makers lay out their own work, and the person you are buying from is the shop owner or the maker. You can ask where a piece came from, how old it is, or how to look after it, and most of what you see exists only once.
Prices are set by each seller. The line-up of shops changes from one market day to the next, so no two visits are quite the same.

- Is this a thrift store or a flea market?
- It is an open-air market, but every seller applies in advance and is selected by the organisers. It is not a car-boot sale of household cast-offs, and it is not a charity thrift store. The person you are buying from is the shop owner or the maker, so you can ask where a piece came from and how old it is.
- Can I pay by credit card?
- It depends on the shop. Some accept cashless payment, but many are small independent sellers, so bringing Japanese yen in cash is the safest option.
- What happens if it rains?
- The market is cancelled in rain. Cancellations are announced on the official Instagram account, so please check there before you travel.
- What else is nearby?
- The park sits between Shibuya Station and Harajuku. Miyashita Park and Cat Street, where many of the area's permanent vintage and second-hand shops are, are both within a short walk, so the market fits easily into a day of vintage shopping in Shibuya.
