[2025 Osaka Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for DAIMARU (Umeda) (Updated Jun)

Attention Gundam enthusiasts! A spectacular pop-up store, THE GUNDAM BASE POP-UP WORLD TOUR 2025, has quietly opened on the 5th floor of Daimaru Department Store in Osaka Umeda 🥳! Located right next to Osaka Station, it's incredibly convenient to visit and absolutely a must-see spot. As soon as you step onto the floor, you'll be blown away by the massive glowing Gundam at the entrance—its presence is simply overwhelming! Inside the store, you'll find everything from the classic RX-78 to the latest Gundam models. There are also many exclusive GUNPLA models that can only be purchased in Japan, each one so captivating that you won't want to leave. The store's futuristic design makes you feel like you've stepped into the Gundam universe, and every photo you take here looks like a masterpiece 📸. However, keep in mind that during peak hours, you'll need to "scan a QR code to apply for an electronic entry ticket" in advance. QR codes will be posted on-site, and you can use your phone to scan and reserve your entry time online. Each person is limited to one ticket, and once you select a time slot, it cannot be changed. It's recommended to keep an eye on QR code updates, as weekend slots tend to fill up quickly. Whether you're here to snap photos or grab exclusive models, this place is absolutely worth the visit! Gundam fans, don't miss out!

I was able to drink the Zunda Shake from Zunda Saryo in Osaka. It's a shop in Sendai, but it's Osaka, a big city. I ordered a shake as soon as I found it. It's a delicious drink with a unique sweetness. There is also a photo spot, and the letters "OSAKA" are cute. This Zunda Shake has a different appeal from the vanilla shake.

As a Zelda fanatic, the Nintendo Store was like heaven to me! There were so many things to see and the store's BGM was so amazing and great because it was all about Nintendo BGMs like Animal Crossing, Mario, Zelda, etc.❤️ I highly recommend this place to Nintendo fans, you won't regret visiting!!✨️✨️ Location: Osaka Daimaru Department Store Umeda Branch Nintendo Store

Yes, we got lost and went to Pokemon World at Osaka branch in Umeda. The review said that there was a very long queue, both the queue to enter and buy things, the queue to go shopping, we went at 14.00 and got a queue at 17.30. It was crazy. And the queue to pay was just as long. There were quite a lot of items, they were constantly being added, but there were also a lot of people. Next to it is the Nintendo World Shop, located on the 14th floor of Daimaru Department Store. It is easy to find, but let me tell you that there were a lot fewer people at the Kyoto branch. You don't have to queue to enter the shop, but the queue to pay was just as long. #Pokemon #TravelJapan #osakatravel

When I was processing tax refund on the fifth floor of Umeda Daimaru Department Store, I found a counter specializing in 2025 Osaka World Expo related products. From snacks, pendants to stationery and clothes, there is everything, and even joint products with Sanrio. Although it looks a bit weird at first glance, it actually feels ugly and cute after looking at it for a long time. Will anyone actually buy these uniquely designed products? #Osaka #OsakaTourism #WorldExpo

Japan Travel Guide For my first trip abroad, I chose Japan, a country I have longed to visit. I was looking forward to experiencing the manga-like atmosphere, and the actual trip did not disappoint. Preparation: Before departure, I prepared cash in Japanese yen, exchanging 5000 RMB per person. Additionally, I applied for a Visa credit card and linked it with my China Merchants Bank account to WeChat and Alipay, which offered the most cost-effective payment method. To ensure easy internet access, I purchased a data SIM card on Taobao, which is very convenient in Japan. For ease of travel, I also got an ICOCA transportation card, which allowed me to use subways and buses effortlessly in Osaka and other regions of Japan. Itinerary: My plan for Japan was: 4 days in Osaka + 2 days in Kyoto + 4 days in Tokyo, totaling ten days and nine nights. We chose to depart at the end of May when the weather is very pleasant, slightly cooler than in China, perfect for sightseeing and shopping. Although it rains often in Japan, it's usually just a brief shower that doesn't affect our plans. Always carry an umbrella just in case. Osaka: We started our journey in Osaka, a city with bustling shopping districts and an abundance of delicious food. I recommend staying in the city center of Osaka for convenience in travel and shopping. Daimaru Department Store, Takashimaya, and Umeda Hankyu near Shinsaibashi are great places for shopping. Foreign tourists can enjoy a 5% discount and tax refund by presenting their passports, and with the current exchange rate, shopping is very cost-effective. Of course, Universal Studios Osaka is a must-visit, especially the globally exclusive Mario Park parade float show, which is utterly immersive. In Osaka, you can also try local delicacies such as grilled meat, sushi, ramen, etc., which will surely satisfy your taste buds. Kyoto: Leaving Osaka, we headed to the historic city of Kyoto. Here, I suggest visiting Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kamogawa, and Shijo Kawaramachi. The beauty of Arashiyama is enchanting, with blue skies, bamboo groves, and moss-covered paths that make you feel as if you're in a fairyland. Kamogawa is a great place to relax; sitting by the river in the evening and watching passersby feels like being in a manga. Kyoto also has many temples and shrines where you can experience the rich traditional Japanese culture. Tokyo: Finally, we arrived in bustling Tokyo. Harajuku, Shibuya, Omotesando, Shinjuku, Ginza, and Daikanyama are must-visit spots. Tokyo's commercial scale is breathtaking, with each shopping district being vast, and you won't get tired of exploring all day. Ginza is a beautiful and convenient shopping district and my preferred place to stay. Of course, you should also try local foods in Tokyo, such as sushi, grilled meat, ramen, tempura, etc. Additionally, there are many attractions worth visiting, such as Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Tower, and more. Returning home, I was filled with memories and satisfaction. Although this was my first visit to Japan and it was a solo trip, some time was spent on transportation, and I missed some sights I wanted to see, this trip made me look forward to my next visit to Japan even more. The charm and culture of Japan left a deep impression on me, and whether it was shopping, food, or natural scenery, it was unforgettable.

Kihachi's mitarashi dango is grilled over an open flame after you order. You can choose to have it lightly, normally, or heavily charred. The cylindrical shape of the dango makes it easy to sear when grilled, and it mixes well with the sauce, giving it a delicious bitter and sweet taste. Osaka's mitarashi dango is also recommended as a souvenir.
