Shinsaibashi

Department stores such as "Daimaru" and fashion buildings such as "Parco" and "Crysta Nagahori", as well as some of the most famous luxury brands including Channel and Gucci, have shops in Shinsaibashi.

There are also casual boutiques, shoe stores and fast food shops, so it's fun to stroll along, taking in the sights and sounds of Osaka.

There are movie theaters and live houses, so there's plenty of people coming and going till late in the day.
