Shopping

Osaka’s shopping areas can be divided into four districts: Umeda, Namba, Shinsai-bashi, and Tennoji. Shinsia-bashi is arguably the main shopping area where you will find the ever-popular Amerika-mura, displaying unabashedly American goods. This is the place where many young Japanese come to check out the latest trends or just hang out beneath the miniature Statue of Liberty. Umeda has some of the city’s largest department stores that cater to the masses. Namba (also known as Minami) has the best food culture and in the Tennoji district, you can find both priceless antiques and contemporary fashion.
