The Shunan Flea Market promises plenty of antiques, imported goods, clothing, records, books and more from 66 vendors. Sample tasty Chinese steamed buns, curry, baked goods and other good eats while you’re shopping.
“While this biannual event near Iwakuni has expanded each time, and at this time, not only local Yamaguchi vendors, but some from as far as Kochi, Ehime or Kagoshima Prefectures are also participating,” Tomoyuki Arao of Stars and Stripes Iwakuni Office, said. “I’m looking forward to enjoying more variations in goods and food during the event.”
Sakura is about to start blooming, so why not visit the Shunan Flea Market to look for your own spring?
