The OEDO Antique Market, hosted by the OEDO Antique Market Executive Committee, takes place on the first and third Sunday every month in the courtyard of Tokyo International Forum.
OEDO Antique Market was started in October 2003 as one of the events to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the Edo Shogunate and is attracting attention as a unique antique fair that adds liveliness to holidays and has increased the number of visitors flowing into the Marunouchi area, the business center of the Tokyo metropolis. As the largest open-air antique fair in Japan, boasting more than 250 dealers, it is earning popularity among not only the Japanese but also among many foreigners including tourists from overseas. As time moves on, an increasing number of visitors, especially foreigners, are becoming familiar with the fair more and more. The previous fair saw as many as 50,000 visitors and a similar number can be expected this time.
There could be found many articles on sale including precious items and artworks reflecting Japanese history and also articles for daily use such as Japanese and European ceramics, kimono and obi, etc.

In the districts of Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho, known as the OMY Area, the renewal program including the New Marunouchi Building is now in a steady progress ledby the Marunouchi Redevelopment Project Council.
On the other hand, major brands rushed to open their shops on the Naka Dori Avenue and various events such as Cow Parade and Heaven Artist in Marunouchi were held by OMY Area Management Association (NPO), and the area is now trying to shed its image as a monotonous business town where it's very quiet on holidays.
Tokyo International Forum Co., Ltd., which emphasizes its corporate social responsibilities, provides its special cooperation to this antique fair in order to create liveliness in the area and establish it as a new sightseeing target, realizing that it is inevitably necessary to activate the area to achieve a sightseeing-oriented nation, together with "Visit Japan Campaign" and "Tokyo, a global city that attracts a great number of residents and visitors."
