Makuhari Messe Doki Doki Flea Market 2014

There are flea markets, and then there's the eye-popping spectacle that unfolds at Makuhari Messe every Golden Week. The Doki Doki Flea Market is Japan's largest bric-a-brac fair, drawing around 1,500 vendors each day. That's not all, though: the attractions also include a handicraft market, a sizable food hall and a range of live music organised by local radio station BayFM, which last year even included idol supergroup AKB48.
