Pasta Pizza Osaka🍕

Osaka has it all — vibrant city vibes, epic sky-high views, shopping paradise, and drool-worthy eats! 🛍️✨ If you’re in the city, Umeda is the place you absolutely can’t miss. The area around Umeda Station buzzes day and night, pulling you right into its energetic flow.

Top Spots to Visit in Umeda:
1. Umeda Sky Building (1 Chome-1-88 Oyodonaka, Kita Ward, Osaka, 531-6023): The star attraction — head up for mind-blowing panoramic views across the city! It’s open year-round from 09:30–22:30 (last entrance at 22:00), so you can catch both bright sunny cityscapes and sparkling nighttime lights.
2. HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel (5−15 HEP FIVE 7F, Kakudacho, Kita Ward, Osaka): This iconic red Ferris wheel sits atop the HEP FIVE shopping mall and makes for an unforgettable photo op (just note — it’ll be closed Oct 26, 2025–Apr 30, 2026). Even if you can’t ride, the mall itself is a fashion and entertainment hub!

My Insider Tips:
- Umeda’s underground is *huge* with tons of malls and boutiques, so plan some time to get a little lost and discover new stores. Everything connects directly to the station, which makes shopping super easy.
- The food scene is wild — don’t just stick to sushi! I had awesome pizza and pasta at a local Italian spot (there are loads near the station), perfect for a dinner date.
- Navigating Umeda is a breeze, signage is clear and most shops/restaurants have handy English menus.

Getting Around:
Jump on Osaka’s super-reliable subway — Umeda Station links you right to everything. It’s cashless friendly too, with payment cards everywhere.

Foodie alert: Try bakery snacks or pop into a cozy café. Happy eating!
