Located near Umeda in Osaka, a neighborhood not to be missed by hipsters!

Besides the famous shopping areas like Shinsaibashi, Namba, and Umeda, Osaka also has a small neighborhood near Umeda called Nakazakicho.

Nakazakicho has many small shops and is a great place for hipsters to visit. What attracted me the most was Only Planet, which sells animal-themed miscellaneous goods. It is said that the shop sources its goods from all over the world. Many items are very cute, and I bought souvenirs for my friends here.

Nakazakicho is not big, but besides the above-mentioned miscellaneous goods shop, there are many dessert shops and unique cafes. It’s perfect to put down the map and leisurely wander around, enjoying a slow-paced life.
