Looking forward to checking out Time Out Market Osaka? Well, we’ve gotten a sneak peek at the new space and can say there’s no other dining hall or market quite like this one anywhere else in Japan. To build excitement ahead of the grand opening on Friday March 21, Time Out Market Osaka hosted a special pre-opening celebration, giving locals a first look – and taste – of the vibrant new space.
Here are some photos from the lively event on Tuesday March 18. For a closer look at all the food and drink options at Time Out Market Osaka, check out our market roundup.
