Vehicle advertising in Osaka
from ¥20,000 a month.
Cheaper than an ad truck, more eye-catching than a taxi wrap. Put your brand on the tuk-tuk that drives Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, Namba, Osaka Castle and Tsuruhashi. Mileage and QR-scan reports every month.
Considering an ad truck or taxi advertising?
A rough comparison of "moving ads" in Osaka based on publicly listed prices. Pick what fits your goal and budget.
| Medium | Typical cost (public listings) | Per day | Minimum unit | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tuk-tuk ad (TukNori) | ¥30,000 setup + ¥20,000/month (excl. tax). From ¥90,000 for 3 months | ≈ ¥1,000/day (3-month term, calendar days) | 1 vehicle, 3 months | Local awareness, inbound tourists, a photogenic ad that gets shared on social media |
| Ad truck (mobile billboard truck) | From ¥80,000/day (Osaka operators). Fixed plans from ¥175,000/week or ¥750,000/month | ¥25,000–¥130,000/day | 1 day (long-term: hundreds of thousands per month) | Short, loud product or event launches |
| Taxi wrap | ¥60,000/month per taxi × 5 taxis minimum (Kansai 2026 rate card) + production | ≈ ¥10,000/day (5 taxis) | 5–50 taxis | Citywide reach, business audience |
| Bus wrap | Usually annual contracts. Production around ¥1,000,000 extra (Tokyo-area examples) | ≈ ¥3,000–13,000/day + production | 1 year | Repeat exposure to commuters on a route |
| Station / street billboard | ¥20,000 to several hundred thousand per month depending on location, plus production | from ≈ ¥700/day | 3–12 months | 24-hour presence in one fixed spot |
| Social media ads (reference) | ¥20,000 buys roughly 7,000–40,000 impressions (Instagram CPM range) | — | 1 day | Targeted delivery; disappears when the budget ends |
* Other media prices are indicative figures published on operators' sites, comparison sites and rate cards as of October 2026 (tax treatment follows the source). Please confirm with each operator. Our per-day figure divides the 3-month price (¥90,000) by about 90 calendar days. Driving depends on rental bookings.
Billboards don't get photographed. Tuk-tuks do.
The lowest-priced vehicle ad in Osaka
One day of ad-truck budget buys four months on a tuk-tuk. Affordable for a single restaurant, salon or shop.
"Your own ad driving Dotonbori for ¥20,000 a month."The only one in Osaka city
If someone spots a tuk-tuk in Dotonbori, it carries your logo. No competing slots.
"If they see it, it's you."It gets photographed and shared
The tuk-tuk itself is a photo subject. Drivers, passengers and passers-by post it on Instagram and TikTok, logo included.
"An ad that is on the receiving end of the camera."Right on the inbound tourist route
International visitors drive it themselves through Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi and Osaka Castle. Based 1 minute from Tsuruhashi Korea Town. English or Korean designs welcome.
"Overseas visitors read your logo at arm's length."Numbers every month
Mileage, areas and active days in a monthly report, plus QR-code scan counts if your design includes one. Billboards can't do that.
"You'll know where it drove and how far."¥30,000 setup + ¥20,000 per month (excl. tax)
Longer terms get a lower monthly rate. Companies and individuals welcome. All prices exclude 10% consumption tax.
