Have Fun Walking at Midosuji

Amemura
Heading west from Shinsaibashi and crossing Midosuji, you will reach an area nicknamed America-mura (America village). It is called "Amemura," an abbreviation for America-mura and is an area where American casual and vintage clothes shops are clustered around Sankaku Park, a triangle-shaped park with a large store, Big Step, as its center. It also has many clubs and is always lively with young people during day and night.

Shinsaibashi Gourmet
Osaka is a Mecca for cheap but delicious “B-class gourmet,” basically comfort or soul food. There are so many specialties like okonomiyaki (savory pancakes) grilled on a hot plate, takoyaki (octopus dumplings) and kushiyaki (fried skewers). This spot is densely populated with restaurants, perfect for taking a walk while you snack!
