Ariake Antique World is one of the largest antique fairs in Japan, held at Tokyo Big Sight. Antique dealers from all over Japan travel here to participate or find antiques. You can find a wide range of antiques, from plates, bowls, cutlery, books, toys, swords, and even museum-quality pieces. In addition to the main fair, the event offers free antique appraisals on the day. Another unique service you can get here is a paid ritual send-off for those who buy old dolls, as it is a traditional ceremony for properly retiring them.
