[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for American Village (Updated Jul)

#OsakaShopping Strategy This time the main attack on the Shinsaibashi battle zone is really weak! The drugstore here is denser than sandworms, Matsumoto Kiyoshi and Dakoku Cosmetics compete for discounts, SK-II has a deal at 70% off at the authorized drugstore, the gift bag is as beautiful as the counter ~ Ghost Tsukasa has so many models that it's difficult to choose, try it on and leave with a pair of white shoes😎 Turning the corner into Dotonbori is simply food hell! Seitaro octopus balls bite open the juice, 100 yen cheesecake hot threaded to the ceiling; but the turtle king ramen queue line up to the stomach crazy, see the queue directly change the venue to eat lobster ramen more affordable 🤣 Kuromon market really have a look, the surrounding izakaya's Osaka grill is the soul Walk to Tangerine Street to know what is called fashion brand paradise ~ Supreme small shop but the goods are super good, the clerk insulted: "only this, only this size, not buy for the people in line behind it"😤 American Village is really a lie, the whole street is Yiwu T-shirt! The lion head at Yasaka Shrine in Namba is great for taking pictures, but I'd rather go to Fushimi Inari to buy it.

📍Travel introduction I am a Korean living in Osaka :) I rent a house on a monthly basis and come and go freely, but actually, after living there, I felt that the only difference between Korea and Japan is the language, and there were so many similarities that I felt it :) However, after living there for 6 months, I realized that tourist attractions and local travel courses are very different, so I brought this information to share with you! For more information, please refer to Instagram @koun_trip! 🚩Travel route 📍Accommodation Living in Osaka (Namba): I regret signing a contract with Umeda ✅I recommend finding accommodation in the Umeda area! 📍Local restaurants Yakiniku: Yakiniku LAB Sushi: Sushihiro Namba Shabu-shabu: Miyama Tennoji 📍Shopping ❌Dotonbori is not recommended❌ Shopping is much more convenient in Umeda! ✅For those who like Japanese fashion, I recommend America-mura 🏖️Landmark Highly recommended Kyoto, Nara 🚇Transportation Use the ICOCA card like T-money after issuing it 📷Photo spot If you take a picture from the bridge of Daikokucho Station or Shin-Imamiya Station, you can capture the entire view of Namba! +People also come out really well #Overseas travel #Japan travel #Japan flight event #Japan #Osaka travel #Australia flight event

In my heart, there is only the word I want to go to Japan 🥹 This year, 2024, let's go. Research the shop, no matter how many places I go, I still can't go to them all. Let's start with Osaka Castle. Let's visit it a bit. Walk to feel, walk until tired. Complete here. The photo angle is here. No need to waste time looking for an angle. When you get inside, you can see the whole castle. You don't have to walk in. Turn left. There is a pond. There will be a stone seat on the stairs. On the map, it should be near Japanese garden 本丸日本庭園 Let's continue. The same old place must go again. Kuromon Market, eat a little bit at each shop, it costs a lot of baht, but it's a good variety. Which in 2024 will recommend 1. Cafe lovers, Nakazaki area, open the map and click. There are still many cute shops. And that area is very cute. Recommend walking around and chilling. 2. Shopaholics - Orange Street has a lot of high-end and high-street brands. When I went, there were quite a few people. - America Mura / Shinsaibashi are next to each other. Walk around here. This place should be a place that everyone must have been to. There is everything. Second-hand clothes, shoes, popular brands, food, snacks. - Department stores in Umeda area. There are a lot here. Recommend shopping in the department store. The advantage is that there is a 5% discount voucher for tourists in addition to the tax free. You can use it on the next receipt. It's really worth it. I recommend shoes, brand name cosmetics. What kind of perfume is it? It's so worth it. 1. Address - kuramon market Highlights - variety of fresh seafood Rating - 8.5/10 2.

The entrance is a little hard to find, so please refer to the 5th and 6th pictures!

#Osaka Shopping Guide When shopping for vintage clothes in Osaka, you must not miss two core areas: American Village and Orange Street on the west side of Shinsaibashi, and the alleys around the Umeda business district. These two places are home to specialty shops of different styles, and it is worth taking the time to explore them slowly. On the road from Umeda to Nakazaki-cho, the two vintage stores opposite each other are particularly surprising. Pigsty focuses on American retro style, with accurate product selection, affordable prices, and online display aesthetics in the store. You can easily find rare items such as Ralph Lauren shirts and old Mickey peripherals. Bow&arrow next door is a paradise for khaki lovers. In the strong retro atmosphere, it displays many first-year classics. At the same time, it represents emerging brands such as bow wow, and you can get unexpected surprises every time you visit. In the American Village area, old vintage stores such as jam, Flamingo Flamingo, and big time gather together. The products are clearly classified and the styles are rich. Although it is difficult to find top-notch hard goods, with solid product selection and display, it can still meet the needs of most vintage fans. Magnets reflects the owner's strong personal style and focuses on military products. From military training shoes to vintage jackets, each piece has a unique military aesthetic and is suitable for customers who prefer a tough style.

#OsakaShoppingGuide This store has been on my wish list for a long time. I finally got to visit it during this move! The store is on the second floor. You have to go through a hidden glass door and go upstairs. I almost missed it🤣 🧭 copyAry Collective (very close to Ishisaibashi!) ⚠️⚠️ It is strongly recommended to check the business hours on Google Map in advance. It is likely to be closed during Japanese holidays! As soon as I stepped into the store, the space was larger than expected, and the goods were even more varied - clothes, shoes, furniture, antiques and small items! I fell in love with a shelf and a table at first sight. Although it cost almost 3,000 yuan without delivery fees, the price is not affordable, but it is beautiful and textured. The style is completely in line with my aesthetic point! The American retro atmosphere in the store is full, and every piece of furniture is like an old object with a story. If you pass by American Street and happen to like retro home furnishings, this store is definitely worth a visit! Maybe you can find a treasure item that will make your heart beat~ #Japan #Art Home #Japanese Second-hand Furniture #Japanese Life #High-value Furniture #Favorite Home Furnishing Store #Students Visiting Stores #Niche Furniture #Antique Furniture #Treasure Second-hand Store #Home Furnishing Shopping Recommendations
