Get a Time Out Osaka tote bag for free at selected hotels in Osaka and Tokyo

To celebrate the release of a special 2023 issue of Time Out Osaka, we collaborated with Japanese fashion retailer Freak's Store to create a tote bag featuring the cover of the magazine. It's an eye-catching tote, if we say so ourselves, as it features a supersized takoyaki, the ubiquitous octopus dumpling that's synonymous with the city of Osaka.

In the tote bag, you'll find a copy of the Time Out Osaka special issue, plus a Freak's Store postcard listing all its outlets in Osaka. Bring this postcard to any of the stores listed and you'll receive a free packet of Baby-Star ramen snack (until September 30 or while stocks last), which comes in an exclusive Freak's Store packaging.

You can get the Time Out Osaka x Freak's Store tote bag for free at these hotels in Tokyo and Osaka.
