Shopping in Umeda, Osaka—don’t forget to set aside half a day for nearby Nakazakicho!

Shopping Guide
Nakazakicho is just a 15-minute walk 🚶‍♀️ from the Umeda shopping district! After a full day of shopping in Umeda’s major malls, take a break by strolling to this retro street lined with Showa-era wooden houses for a Citywalk📷—every snap looks like a Japanese-style masterpiece!

When you’re tired from walking, pick a cozy café ☕️ to rest a bit; after dark, the surrounding izakayas (open until midnight) offer plenty of choices to experience authentic Japanese casual dining life. Remember! Many small shops in Nakazakicho prohibit photography inside, so be sure to ask the staff before taking pictures!
