Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park

Every Sunday, the central boulevard of Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park hosts Seseragi Marche, a relaxed, family-friendly market surrounded by the greenery of one of Osaka’s most beloved urban parks. From 9am to 4pm, visitors can browse a rotating line-up of local vendors offering everything from fresh seasonal produce and handmade crafts to hot meals and sweet treats from colourful food trucks. The stalls change weekly, so there’s always something new to discover. But expect to find anything from fragrant karaage, tacos and even pizza alongside crêpes and baked goods. When the weather is good, the atmosphere feels more like a picnic than a market: visitors spread out under the trees, dogs roaming along the paths, and live music or local community events often add to the charm. The market is the perfect complement to an easy Sunday in nature without leaving the city.

Among Osaka’s vintage and flea markets, Lohas Park stands out as a family-friendly option with an eco-friendly boost. The market will first be returning to Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park this year for its 6th and 7th editions in January and March, turning the historic Expo ’90 grounds into a charming open-air marketplace. Browse furniture, handmade accessories and antique treasures alongside eco-friendly food products from local producers. Food trucks add to the gourmet offerings, while a dedicated kids’ area is on hand to keep younger visitors entertained. There will also be workshops and live performances to round out the experience. The fashionable atmosphere draws families from across Osaka and it’s a great day out for anyone interested in sustainable living, vintage finds, or simply enjoying a weekend market in one of Osaka’s greenest spaces. Can’t make the first weekend? The 7th edition follows in March, giving you two chances to experience this popular event. Plus, both weekends will proceed rain or shine.
