Makuhari Messe Doki Doki Flea Market

There are flea markets, and then there's the eye-popping spectacle that unfolds at the Makuhari Messe conference centre every Golden Week. The Doki Doki Flea Market is Japan's largest bric-a-brac fair, drawing around 1,300 vendors each day. If you're quick off the mark (and can navigate the Japanese-only application form), they're taking applications for standard and car boot vendors until April 7.
