More than a hundred shops line it, selling fresh fish, produce and food to eat, wholesale as well as retail. Exit 10 of the subway comes up at the end of the street. The custom here is to eat what you buy at the shop's counter rather than while walking. Nine visitors in ten are back out within two hours, so the market fits either side of lunch. - Area: osaka_minami - Type: shopping - Time to allow: 1–2 h — In Jalan's visitor survey, 42% stayed under an hour and 48% stayed one to two hours — nine in ten were done within two hours. (source: https://www.jalan.net/kankou/spt_guide000000127033/, 2026-08-21) - Hours: The market runs roughly 9:00-18:00, but each shop sets its own hours and its own days off; the market itself keeps no fixed closing day. If one particular shop is the reason you are going, call that shop before you set out. - Last verified: 2026-08-21 ## Family facts (value + conditions + source + verified date) | Feature | Value | Conditions | Verified | Source | |---|---|---|---|---| | Stroller access notes | Yes | The market is one street running north to south, 580 m end to end, so walking it and coming back is 1.2 km.
