It’s fun to dig for treasures at the Osu Kannon Antique Market in Nagoya, Japan

Visiting time: 2022/12/18

Osu Kannon Antique Market in Nagoya! You can only meet them on the 18th and 28th of every month. The rich man has seen many antique vendors setting up stalls. It is very interesting. People who like old things can come and look for treasures. There are also some who collect antique goods nearby. Store, you can go shopping together. Each stall has its own characteristics. It seems that there are about 40 stalls. They are surrounded by Osu Guanyin Temple, which can bring out the sense of the times of antiquities. The bosses are all somewhat old antique experts, unlike Taiwan's creative markets. Oh (laughing).

Small vendors selling porcelain, paintings, and art. The boss also grew a beard and looked like an artist, very stylish!

Small vendors selling old furniture, cups and pans. There are also some nonsensical items. For example, in 1970, the Fujiya store had unused tiles. The rich man originally wanted to buy them because the pattern and color of the tiles were very special, but because they were tiles, they were really heavy, so he had to give up and buy them early in the morning. I don’t want to carry it around all day (laughs).

A small stall specializing in selling ancient Japanese coins. Each coin seems to have many memories and stories.

A small vendor selling some collectibles and old toys. The boss seems to be a car enthusiast who collects various car-related items. Unfortunately, the condition of the toys is really not good. Many of them are rusty and the prices are not cheap. Boss. Probably here to make friends.

A car in this condition actually costs 300 yen, so the rich man passes first.

Small vendors selling survival games, field equipment, and military supplies. Could these kettles be left behind by American soldiers many years ago? It feels quite interesting.

The owner of the stall that sells used books, old license plates, and signs has organized the books and newspapers in a very orderly manner. The main character with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the cover of the book is really retro.

A small vendor selling nostalgic posters. The condition of the goods is very new and looks like a replica.

rich man experience

The rich man thought it was quite fun to go shopping. There were many nostalgic antiques. Some of them actually made me smile knowingly, thinking that someone would actually sell them (laughs). The toys were a bit too old and many of the cars were rusty. Yes, if time permits and you happen to be passing by, you can take a look.
