Shopping in the Shinsaibashi and Namba Area of Osaka, Japan

As part of our list of resources for visitors to Osaka City, we have developed a guide to shopping in Osaka. In this article, we will specifically show the best shopping in Shinsaibashi and Namba areas only (both are in Chuo-Ku Osaka).

(We have a separate article with more information about shopping in the Umeda/Osaka Station area.)

Osaka has several shopping districts and lots of shopping arcades. The two largest shopping areas in Osaka are Umeda in Kita-ku ward and Namba in Chuo-ku ward. Both areas have large department stores and underground shopping malls as well.

The two areas of Shinsaibashi and Namba form one of the best places to go shopping in Osaka. There are several train stations in this area, but the two most important are Shinsaibashi Station and Namba Station. The area in between those two stations offers excellent shopping and entertainment. The two areas are separate by the Dotonbori River.

For this article, we separate the Shinsaibashi/Namba shopping district into two areas:
— Shopping in Shinsaibashi, NORTH the Dotonbori River
— Shopping in Namba, SOUTH the Dotonbori River

== Shopping in the Shinsaibashi Area (on the north side of the Dotonbori River)

From Shinsaibashi station to Namba station there is a big main street called Midosuji street. There are various brand shops, department stores and shopping malls on this street, and in the surrounding area.
