About the event
Meetup Event Copy｜English
Hello everyone, this is Saki from BLEND OSAKA ☺︎ Join us for a relaxed local market tour at BON MARCHE at OBP Twin21 — one of Osaka’s largest weekday markets, held only two days a month.
Special Webpage for this tour: [https://blend.bonmarchetour.artvre.jp/](https://blend.bonmarchetour.artvre.jp/)
With around 160 carefully selected shops, BON MARCHE brings together food, sweets, wine, accessories, handmade crafts, massage, fortune-telling, and many other unique local booths.
The theme of the market is: “A little something better than usual.”
This tour is not only about shopping. It is about discovering local Osaka, meeting creators and producers, enjoying small conversations, and finding something that feels special — whether that is a souvenir, a gift, something delicious, or simply a new experience.
No Japanese? No problem. Saki and Euihon will be with you throughout the tour and can help with translation when needed. Japanese participants are also very welcome. This is a great opportunity to enjoy a local market while connecting with people from different backgrounds in a warm and friendly atmosphere. There is absolutely no pressure to buy anything. You are welcome to look around, ask questions, enjoy the atmosphere, and join at your own pace.
