It is the Makano market in the centre of Tokyo. This market specialises in the selling and buying of consumer goods, both new and old. The salespeople here are mainly retired or single elderly people. They hold maybe a watch, an iron, a camera or a suit in their hands. This market meets every Saturday.
Elderly people go here mainly for recreational needs.
This market is like a club with a very warm and open atmosphere. This market is also a place to help them find their own friends. Here the buying and selling of products is always brisk. Friends and relatives, when visiting patients, do not bring along food or fruit as in Vietnam. They all buy flowers as their gifts.
