At the heart of Time Out Market is a close connection with and support of local artists, giving a platform to home-grown talents. There is always something new and exciting happening, making Time Out Market Osaka a destination to come back to over and over again to enjoy culinary and cultural experiences.

Time Out Market Osaka is a new addition to a global family of food and cultural markets
There are now eleven Time Out Markets around the world – all dedicated to the best of the city they are in, but each is unique to its city and distinctly local. Time Out Market is rooted in Time Out which started in 1968 at a kitchen table in London as a magazine about the best things to do in the city. It is now a trusted brand that has, for over 50 years, been curating the best of cities around the world – including Tokyo and now also Osaka. Time Out Osaka has recently launched across digital channels with a website and social media channels including Instagram. In addition and to coincide with the Market opening, a Time Out Osaka print magazine launched and is available at airports, hotels and tourist information centres across the city. On the cover is a representation of Grand Green Osaka as a new oasis of greenery in the heart of the city, in the form of a dish created by Chef Willy Monroy who has also joined Time Out Market Osaka with Saboten Taqueria.
