Toji Temple Market




Toji is a Buddhist temple in Kyoto. Inside Toji temple you will find “Yakushi Nyorai, the healing Buddha”. The pagoda at Toji is also “the tallest wooden tower in Japan”. “On the 21st of every month, a market is held at Toji temple in honor of Kōbō Daishi who died on the 21st of March”. Many people set up tents in front of the temple to sell antiques and food.

The products are sold for a decent price. I bought a sake set for ten dollars. The set was in great condition. The following month, I went back with my friends for a second visit to see if we could get another deal on more pots, which we did. She bought a set of four plates for three dollars. Toji Market is a great place to buy sovernirs for a decent price.

Some more text about this subject would be helpful and interesting, especially in relation to Japanese culture.

Why do you provide a wikipedia link? Does the temple itself have a link?
