Experience the Excitement at Osaka's New Product Street

Osaka, known for its vibrant culture and culinary delights, is hosting an exciting pop-up event titled the Osaka Shinamono Shopping Street at Namba Marui. This pop-up, set to take place from January 22 to 27, 2026, showcases a unique collection of new products and services developed by 17 local companies, supported by the Osaka Industrial Bureau.
