Pickup points and meeting tips
- Nippombashi Station (Osaka Metro and Kintetsu) is right next to the market.
- Namba hotels are within a 10-minute walk, so many groups walk in.
- For vehicle pickups, use a nearby main road such as Sakaisuji, not the market street itself.
Vehicle access
The market is a narrow pedestrian arcade. Vans can make short drop-offs on surrounding roads; coaches park elsewhere and the group walks in. Allow time for crowding at midday.
Arrange bus parking outside pedestrian market streets.
Luggage
Do not bring suitcases into the market. If visiting on an arrival or departure day, keep bags in the vehicle.
