Osaka is known for its delicious food, friendly people, and countless attractions. But it also has plenty to offer when it comes to shopping, especially its secondhand, vintage, and handmade markets. Thanks to reuse initiatives for clothing and household items, markets across Osaka welcome first-time vendors selling secondhand goods, cutting waste while offering great bargains. Here's a look at what makes each flea market special.

The goods here are known for their quality and include art, souvenirs, accessories, woodwork, and small trinkets. The market is held every Friday.
