Shabbat Times in Osaka

For Friday 2026-08-21

Halachic note

Osaka follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.

Osaka's Jewish life revolves around the welcoming Chabad of Kansai, which serves a diverse mix of local families, expatriates, and travelers. Visitors can join for Shabbat services and meals, but should book accommodation nearby as there is no eruv and kosher options are limited.
