Here is a map showing where I think it is.

The intersection that you see in the north part of the map is the intersection of Tsuchiura Gakuen Sen and Nishi Odori. Go south from the Tsukuba Center area and then turn west (right) at the “panda restaurant” and turn north (right again) immediately after you make the turn off Nishi Odori. Follow that street up a little bit and keep your eyes turned to the left. You should see the market in there. It looks like a regular house, but there is a garage on the side that is open and filled with vegetables.

If you do go to the market, please let us know whether these instructions were correct or not!

Can you tell as the exact address, please. I do not know the Chinese restaurant, so it is difficult for me to find the shops. thanks in advance. Thanks for this info.

That farmer's market must be VERY new. I drove by that Chinese restaurant twice on Sunday, but didn't realize there was a farmer's market going on! I'm not sure if we are talking about the same place, but I think the "open garage" place you are referring to is a gas station that went out of business last summer or fall.
