Aoyama Farmers Market

I love visiting farmers market. They have several food trucks selling burgers, pizzas, curry using locally-grown vegetables (so fresh so delicious). And they also have a lot of stores selling handmade products and I bought ginger syrup from a store called brooklyn ribbon fries. Love the owner and the product. Definitely give it a go !

Stumbled across this wonderful farmers market in Aoyama. Eclectic and beautiful range of stalls displaying local produce and wares, from fruits and flowers, to coffee and jams all over Japan Plenty of food trucks and stalls too, with pizza and tacos and soba Yam as well as a horse meat panini store Great vibes with live music and organic local produce readily available

Was a super lovely market with amazing food. Grapes were 10/10! Would definitely come back again

Lovely farmer's market selling fresh produce - mostly vegetables and some other products like pepper, honey, strawberries etc. Bought really sweet and fresh strawberries from one of the stalls and they were absolutely divine. Highly recommended for a short walk around just to take a look :)

Love this farmer market that’s located at UN university on weekends. The vibes is relaxing and chill and you get a lot of fresh produces, and handcrafted food and non food items. Some stalls sell vintage products too. On top of that there are a couple of cute food trucks and a coffee truck. Check it out if you are around the area.

If you want hot sauce, fresh fruits and veggies, foods trucks, and other goods, go to the weekend farmers market!! We have visited so many times, and we always find so many things we want to eat and buy. I also love that the humane society often brings in adoptable animals. Try the hot sauces and you won’t be sorry!!!

Great place to drop in for offerings from local growers and producers- think strawberries (deliciously sweet), apples, vegetables, honey and wine. There are also a few stalls serving noodles, grilled chicken and coffee.

The farmers market is suitable for both locals and tourists. They have vendors from other regions of Japan. Once we were there, we realized that the South East Asia-flavoured Japanese curry rices from one of the food trucks was the popular choice among the locals. The only downside we found during the visit: it was hard to find a seat to enjoy our food and a small portion of the tables were not sheltered and it was really sunny during noon. We just stood around to eat some snacks before being able to find seats to order a set of grated yam rice to eat. There were multiple food trucks and some local producer vendors and crafters vendors. We walked around and bought items from different vendors. We bought some strawberries to eat on the spot. The best we ever eaten. The apple juice is not overly sweetened. There is also a stall selling grated yam rice! Seems like a local thing. It tasted delicious i would ordered it again! The stall also sold some yam donut! It was fluffy! The latte from Tiki Coffee was my favourite drink! I can’t wait to visit again and excited to see more vendors next time. Hope to see more local Japanese food vendors next!

My hometown has lots of farmer's market! I always think it's fun to explore these markets at other countries too and see how they do it. It was at UNU. We did get a little lost from Shibuya station but eventually we made it. It was a lot smaller than other markets I've visited in my hometown but it was so organized. I liked the food carts and also the stands were divided nicely so people could walk around freely without feeling too crowded. It was a bit rainy when we went so it wasn't very busy. There was a cooking class and of course lots of fresh produce. Everyone was friendly and kind. There was also an indoor section (not tent-like coverings) where they had people display their art or handmade items. They were super cute and very delicate looking. I didn't get anything because it was $$$ and looked fragile, I didn't want to risk it in my luggage lol. But everything was nice and very pretty. Again, it was small and quaint but it was fun seeing the different products.

A great farmers market. Easy to get to from the subway. Fantastic treats to be found. The strawberry's are to die for. The food trucks are very good. A free range chicken farmer selling bbq skewers of chicken treats, venison and pig farmer selling venison burgers absolutely delicious. You can also get beautiful Addison beers to have with your food. There is an Artesan knife maker here with beautiful Japanese knives very good prices. If you are in Tokyo and it is a fine weekend it is open Saturday and Sunday is a must.

I have to say that the Farmer's Market at United Nations University (UNU) was an interesting experience. While I expected it to be packed full of people, I wasn't aware of how much of a variety a Tokyo-based farmer's market would incorporate but you get a little bit of everything. As a person who has shared my ways of growing organic vegetables on this blog, I was impressed in seeing how thick their carrots are in Japan and how cheap they were selling them. Now, while prices were cheap for nearly the majority of all products being sold, there are some fruits that were sold that were expensive. I was expecting some of the luxury fruits that sell for about Y10000 (about US $100) to be at the location but they did have one orange for Y1000 and a pack of strawberries from Niigata that was a bit pricey. But for those who watched my YouTube video on the Niigata strawberries, they were much different than American strawberries and were delicious! Since I went there earlier, I had a chance to watch the setup and for the most part, it was cool to see how certain farms and vendors made it a family affair. Typically, when I have gone to Farmers Market's it's usually adult sellers but I saw parents encouraging their young children to be part of the sales efforts and also being involved (grooming them for the future, I suppose). It was also fascinating to see the healthy spin that many sellers were pushing, from organic vegetables to plant-based baked goods. There is one thing that I'm sure that people would be interested in knowing is that there are food trucks and food vendors directly nearby. As a matter of fact, there are restaurants close by because it's close to Omotesando and Aoyama area, finding places to eat is not difficult. But I have to say, this is probably the most food trucks I have seen outside of what I saw at the Tokyo International Forum in the business district of Yurakucho. Overall, my experience at the Farmer's Market at United Nations University in Shibuya, Tokyo was awesome. And I look forward to visiting the market again in the near future!

I am a tourist and found that the vendors have something for anyone here. This is the only market where I found real fresh wasabi! There are also second hand kimonos for sale. This is worth a visit from most tourists who enjoy the novelty of farmers markets, especially if you are looking for wasabi.

One of my favorite places in Tokyo. It's open every Saturday and Sunday and has the freshest stuff in town. There's also some great prepared food vendors selling everything from roast pork to fresh juice. If you need to pick up some gifts for the folks back home, this is the place! I bought awesome spicy ketchup, amazing black pepper, fresh sugar from Okinawa and much more. Many of the vendors speak English too, and are excited to have you try their stuff...even if you decide not to buy. But trust me, you will!

The most easily accessible and well stocked farmers market in central Tokyo. Lots of fresh and seasonal produce, breads and desserts,antiques and a few places to grab a quick bite. My pick ups are usually: 1. Kale, collards, mustard greens. These are notoriously hard to find in Tokyo and it is nice to interact with the people that work hard to grow these greens 2. Heirloom tomatoes - there is one shop that sells an amazing variety of tomatoes. 3. Heirloom carrots - lots of different shapes and colors 4. Beets, Jerusalem artichokes and various radishes. These are also difficult to fin ton Tokyo but there are a few stalls that have these vegetables. Get there early for the freshest produce as they tend to start running out of their popular produce in the afternoon!

Awesome market just minutes from Shibuya station. Come hungry as there are samples galore: teas, breads, fruits and more. Not to mention the food trucks with everything from curry to wood-fired oven pizzas - amazing to see it squeezed into the back of the food truck. It also make a great place to get souvenirs as there an array of packaged foods and cooking mixes to be found. We picked up some green tea, seaweed and miso paste to take home. There was a little band playing while we were there, 4 Japanese ladies playing Irish jigs. Unexpected but perfectly set the mood for this gem of a market.

Aoyama's farmers market was amazing. I loved trying all the artisan things and seeing antique furniture. It reminded me of San Francisco's markets like this and I was happy to find a little piece of it here in tokyo. The veggies and fruits tended to be cheaper than market price as well which was a pleasant surprise. It opens at 10am and I would recommend getting there around that time because from 12pm the traffic through there gets real heavy real fast. Enjoy the local food trucks as well, the workers are always super kind and friendly.

(4.5 stars) Yelp 100 Challenge - 2015 - 59/100 The Aoyama Farmers' Market has been held every weekend for quite some time, and I finally made the trip to check the place out before attending a Yelp event in the afternoon. It is located on the grounds in front of the United Nations University campus near Omotesando. As one would expect from the area claiming the title of top fashion and trend setting neighborhood for Japan, the atmosphere and mood are definitely upscale and catering to upper middle-class to wealthy clientele. That said, quite a full variety of goods and services are available from traditional produce, handicrafts, foods and household goods. The underlying theme is organic, healthy and ecological which means the products being sold are prepared and priced accordingly. Highlights:   + Selection: 5/5 stars (quite a wide variety available) - farmers' boutique collection   + Vendor Variety: 5/5 (foods, produce, health & beauty, excellent food trucks, including oven-baked pizza and craft beers)   + Quality: 5/5 (you get what you pay for!)   + Value: 4/5 (food trucks - 5; vegetable stands 4; goods/pastries, etc. - 4 - 4 ratings for higher than average prices, but fair for niche boutiques)   + Layout: 3/5 (passages among booths, especially in the area where most of the food trucks are concentrated, are very narrow; high risk of bumping a seated patron and dumping your plate lunch in their lap)   + Amenities: 3/5 (needs more seating; restrooms unavailable or not clearly marked - unknown) Summary: I'd give this straight 5's if the last three areas mentioned above could be improved. Pricing is appropriate to the neighborhood - think of it more like an open-air collection of boutique shop vendors than the dusty farmers peddling their wares. No one fitting that discription on site at all, expecially among the patrons - all dressed fashionably and trendy (except me, ha, ha). Foods purchasd included a plate lunch, oven-baked pizza, craft beers, gourmet coffee, baked goods - all in the name of Yelp research (and an empty stomach). All items were excellent! Service at each respective vendor varied - even after carefully choosing which "business intelligence" questions to ask. Well, in the heat and among such a crowd, not many had time to chit chat, although those vendors who had fixed location shops also had flyers or business cards available. It's an interesting experience - vendors rotate and change each weekend so there's no telling what surprises await. However, judging from other reviews and my own experience, it's a cool place to check out as a local or tourist. You're sure to find some pleasant surprises.

Fantastic weekend farmer's market right near Omotesando station. There's a wide variety of options including vegetables, tea, honey, coffee...the list goes on and on. There's also a bunch of food trucks on site if you don't fill up on samples. The food trucks provide a decent amount of options, though not sure they need 5 different trucks offering curry. They also seem to randomly have themes like Portland Festival or pets day - which can make it very busy but also usually provides some sort of entertainment too.

I love this Farmer's Market. Okay, I admit it's not as big as the one in LA but it is still a really nice market with loads of fresh veggies, bread, wine and lots of other goodies. It really is like a treasure hunt! My favourite are all the different bakeries that set up shop there. Open every weekend near Kodomo no Kuni and the UN University, open until around 4ish, you're bound to find something want there. Even if you don't buy anything, it's still a nice stroll away from all the shopping.

So fun! Love the DJ, music performances, variety of products and people. Great atmosphere and lots of food choices for lunch.

Absolutely recommend coming here for an hour or so... it's a small Farmers Market - probably less than a hundred vendors - but full of great eats, drinks and goodies... you will not leave here hungry ;-) As well as the usual array of grocery stands, there are fabulous coffee and food (both hot and cold) stands, as well as vendors selling a myriad of home made goods, both edible and non-edible. Really worth a visit... We loved it :-)

The Aoyama Farmers' Market is a terrific way for a visitor to start off their Saturday or Sunday morning in Tokyo. An alternative to Tsukiji Fish Market or in case you couldn't get up early enough for the famed tuna auction. We stopped by on a sunny, crisp, and cool Saturday morning in December. There's plenty of different products to look at. For someone who can't read Japanese, it took some guessing or a friendly conversation with the people working at the various stands, to figure out what was being offered on sale. I came away with some goodies to enjoy later. The market that day was a fairly good size and we were able to have breakfast, as well. There are some food trucks, beverage carts, bakery stands, etc. I'm sure the offerings change with the days and seasons.

This is a great place to spend a few hours on Saturday or Sunday. Come hungry, because you'd definitely want to try at least one, likely more, of the lunch plate offerings from many dozen food trucks before stocking up on organic produce and grocery.
