    About this experience

    Ever wanted to be Indiana Jones looking for treasure among relics? Here is your chance to go antique shopping in various markets throughout the city.  This tour gives you your very own antique market guide to take you around various antique markets. These markets, usually at shrines, have a huge variety of everything beautiful and antique, from kimono to pottery to samurai swords to geisha pillows, often at rock bottom prices because there is no need for these items in modern life.

    This is a scam

    My money was taken and the guide never showed up or responded to my messages. I demand a refund. I am sorry I booked this tour and paid in advance

    David_S · September 2023

    I hate to say it’s a scam, but…

    Tour operator lists this activity for every week, even though the antique market is not held every week. We travelled across Tokyo to attend, and when we got to the temple, there was no market. All tempts to contact the tour operator went unanswered, and finally had to contact Viator for a refund (Viator support was fantastic, though).

    Learn about Japanese culture and history at the antique market !

    My friends and I had a lovely experience walking and learning from Sayuki about the different treasures we found at the antique market. I was quite interested in learning about the different Kimonos they were selling there. We found some long sticks that looked like old pipes, luckily Sayuki was there to tell us that they were old portable ink holders! The antique market was a nice and fun way to learn what people in Japan have been collecting from different eras. She gave us quite a lot of interesting insight about the different kimonos they were selling there. Sayuki is a geisha, she could tell us which one would be worn by a geisha or not. You will learn so much about Japanese goods and culture! If you are not strong in Japanese( like me), do not worry! Sayuki will explain and also translate for you it in English. They sell anything from cutlery, kimonos, head ornaments, jewelry, and other interesting antique goods! For the trip we all brought ower own masks! Highly recommend this trip if you are in Koto, Tokyo!

    Fascinating insite into history

    This tour was amazing, not only was the market a very interesting. The variety of objects shocked me, ranging from Kimono's around 1000 Yen to Bento boxes for 50000 Yen!! Sayuki's contribution to the tour was invaluable, honestly if we had been by our self we wouldn't have noticed half the interesting objects she pointed out, being a geisha she told us what were good deals on Kimonos and recommended styles and different pieces. As well as insight into Japanese culture and history. A delightful tour most definitely!

    Traditional Antiques Market Tour Tokyo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.

    How much does Traditional Antiques Market Tour Tokyo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $23974 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Traditional Antiques Market Tour Tokyo take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.

    Is Traditional Antiques Market Tour Tokyo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 34 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Traditional Antiques Market Tour Tokyo?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Traditional Antiques Market Tour Tokyo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Traditional Antiques Market Tour Tokyo?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Traditional Antiques Market Tour Tokyo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tokyo?

    +

    Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tokyo?

    +

    Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tokyo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
