The approach to Hakozaki Shrine, which extends directly towards the sea, is adorned with over 200 shops. Hosting the “Wind Market,” the largest flea market in Western Japan, this venue comes to life 10 times a year, monthly except for September and January. The market begins to stir at 7 a.m., and by 8 a.m., nearly all stalls are fully operational. Shoppers can discover an eclectic array of items, including vintage tools, eclectic goods, and everyday-use antiques, all available for purchase. The best treasures are swiftly claimed, so arriving early is advisable for those looking to snag the best deals.
