Kuromon Market

Kuromon Market (黒門市場, Kuromon Ichiba), located in Osaka's vibrant Minami area, is a bustling 600-meter-long covered market filled with over 150 shops. Dating back to the Edo Period, it offers a lively atmosphere to explore and enjoy fresh seafood, grilled treats, sushi, and the famous takoyaki. Many stalls sell smaller portions, perfect for savoring delicious bites on the spot while soaking in the local culture.

A favorite for food lovers, the market also features traditional sweets, seasonal fruits, and unique items like sea urchin and crab legs. While enjoying this culinary paradise, be mindful of local etiquette—dispose of trash properly, avoid walking while eating, and respect the flow of traffic to ensure a pleasant experience for all.
