Ohatsu Tenjin Flee Market - first Friday every month

Ohatsu Tenjin is famous as the setting for Chikamatsumonzaemon's story "Sonezaki shinjyuu"; one of his Jyoruri (Japanese puppet play). It is based on a true story about two lovers who committed double suicide in the Edo period in the Tenjin woods which was behind this shrine.

The shrine is in the middle of Umeda city. If you are in Umeda on the first Friday of each month, pop into the flee market. You may find some unique items or antiques at a good price.
