Before you go
The Saezuri-ichi is a market at Kamigoryo Shrine, held on the 18th of each month (except May), 9:00–16:00. No independent shrine or organizer website was found; details follow Kyoto City's official tourism market list PDF. No admission fee is stated officially.
- Getting there
- At Kamigoryo Shrine. The official PDF gives only the shrine name, no detailed address; contact 075-441-2260.
- Crowds
- 9:00–16:00; arrive early for a relaxed visit.
- Good for
- Small shrine-market browsers; people in the Kamigyo area passing by.
- How it differs
- Compared with Toyokuni Shrine's Omoshiro-ichi (three times a month), the Saezuri-ichi runs once a month—miss it and you wait a month. Compared with the large Mori no Tedukuri-ichi, this is a small shrine-ground market, easy to browse.
Kamigoryo Shrine's monthly rites fall on the 1st and 18th, and the market is fixed on the 18th.
