Tips for Muslim visitors

There are a few Muslim-friendly stalls in the market, mostly selling fresh seafood.
Plan about 1 to 2 hours here. Mornings are busy with buyers, and the market gets crowded with tourists from midday onward.
Street food and market snacks often contain pork, lard or alcohol (such as mirin or sake), even when this is not obvious. Ask before you buy.
Some markets and shopping streets ask visitors not to eat while walking. Eat at the stall or in a rest area.
Plan your visit around prayer times. Below are today's prayer times for Osaka and the verified places to pray nearby.
