welcome to the 2024 Osaka Auto Messe. Kansai’s smaller however more refined and intimate version of Tokyo Auto Salon in which we covered early last month.

this event has been running for 27 years, since 1997 to the west side of osaka at the intex location. attending most of the previous years since 2020 i can personally feel the event growing whether it’s the vendors, booths & companies inside or the extremely large number of japanese and foreign customers entering through the doors spectating some of japan’s finest brands & cars over the course of a 3 day period. an event i highly encourage all car enthusiasts to come to especially if you’re in japan visiting, you will not be disappointed.

the custom car world of Kansai, Japan – Osaka Auto Messe 2023 – similar to Tokyo’s Auto Salon – Osaka has its own kind with a little twist of style and presentation. the last time this event was held was early 2020 right before the peak of COVID and the world closing. back again after 3 years it was very warming to see how many people were out and about attending the event. i made sure i was there at a decent time on saturday morning with my camera loaded to make effort to go through most of the halls and shoot.

this event is held at the port of Osaka near Nanko – Intex Osaka. This event has been running annually since 1997 so has plenty of returning and renowned car shops and business’ showcasing their cars and art every year. It’s estimated that well over 200,000+ people spectate this car show event over the course of the 3 days. If you’re into cars new and old just like the Tokyo Auto Salon i highly recommend visiting this show at least once in your lifetime.

below is my selection of photos from what i captured over the course of the weekend, enjoyyy x
