Every
25th of the month a huge market is held at the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in
northwest Kyoto. This has to be one of the most scenic locations for
a market anywhere. Here you can find clothing, antiques, pottery,
jewelry, fabric, old coins, hats, tools, toys… you name it.
Deborah found a kimona. There are also plenty of food vendors, which
allowed us to snack on desert crepes and takoyaki, or octopus balls.
(Mind you, the latter refers to the shape of the fried,
batter-encased octopus morsels, nothing else).

Shopping - hopefully for better coordinated outfits.
Big crowds for a weekday
The market doesn't preclude religious services on site.
I think they're selling religious devotional items at these booths - another kind of market.
