Market Iriya Asagao-ichi (Morning Glory Fair) 6 to 8 Jul · Iriya Japan's largest morning glory market, held on the same three days every year since the Edo period, with about 120 growers' stalls lining Kototoi-dori in front of Iriya Kishimojin temple. Stalls open around 5am, when the flowers are at their best. Photo: Fred Cherrygarden, CC BY-SA 4.0
Market Hozuki-ichi (Ground Cherry Market) 9 to 10 Jul · Asakusa Two-day Edo-era market where around 100 stalls sell potted hozuki (ground cherry) plants with glass wind chimes in the Senso-ji temple grounds. A prayer at the temple on July 10 is traditionally worth 46,000 days of merit, which is why the market grew up around this date. Photo: OiMax, CC BY 2.0
