A historic covered shopping arcade representing Osaka Minami since the Edo era, with about 600 meters of stores ranging from fashion to miscellaneous goods. The covered arcade allows for weather-proof shopping and is perfect for browsing and window-shopping during hot midsummer hours. Its proximity to Dotonbori also allows you to absorb the atmospheric buzz as evening approaches and the bon odori festival begins.
Tips
About 15 minutes by public transport from Osaka Castle Park. Crowds increase in the evening, so browsing leisurely during this afternoon timeframe is recommended.
Best time to visit
Plan for about 45 minutes. The quieter afternoon hours make for more comfortable walking.
