Icora Mall Izumisano

Osaka is no stranger to flea markets, with the local Business Incubator Association particularly active in organising these sustainable shopping bonanzas in the Kansai region. Among their five regular locations in Osaka – in addition to venues across Hyogo and Nara – the Icora Mall in Izumisano is perhaps the most convenient for out-of-towners. Here, the market takes place every first, third and fifth Sunday of the month, starting from 9.30am. From out-of-vehicle stores to little stalls, you’ll find a wide range of sellers hawking everything from clothing, shoes and bags to home appliances, ceramics and wooden furniture. Keep an eye out especially for antiques, vintage electronics and appliances, and beautiful home décor items. Be sure to carry cash, and note that as the market is held outdoors, it might be cancelled in the event of rain or inclement weather.
