Very interesting place with shops and restaurants. I heard that it's more beautiful in the evening but I wasn't able to stay until that time. Would go back one day.

The "Namba City" at Nankai Namba Station is a shopping area with extremely convenient transportation. There are nearly 300 shops including boutiques and restaurants. In addition, there are many restaurants specializing in Osaka civilian dishes around the subway Namba Station; the underground is also a bustling business district, with many specialty shops and their own dedicated homepages. Namba is the main transportation hub in southern Osaka. It is the terminus of several railway lines, including the Nankai Electric Railway and the Kintetsu-Namba Line. The West Japan Railway Company and the Osaka Municipal Subway also have a Namba station. Starting from Namba Station, it is also very convenient to go to popular sightseeing spots such as Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara. Namba is also a famous entertainment city.

Called the pantry of Japan, different cuisines from all over Japan are available here. Clusters of restaurants present you with a wide range of choices of delicious meals at reasonable prices, making Namba a spot that is packed with the culture of Osaka.
Japanese restaurants generally start at 11 o'clock. I accidentally found this breakfast spot in Namba Pedestrian Street, and there were a lot of people in the queue. The price was good, so the first breakfast in Japan was solved here. I learned the locals' appearance and sat on the dining table to order food. Eating is a very interesting experience.
Namba is the place to stay in Osaka as it's near to many famous landmarks such as Dotonbori, Yasaka-jinja. There are also multiple huge malls with many levels of shops and restaurants
In the center of Osaka, business is bustling, popular, day and night are people. Now Japan is not only the locals still consume, but also more foreign tourists, full of vitality.
"Mogami" between Soemon Town and Mitura. A calm atmosphere shop. You can eat fashionable skewers. Recommended, 10 〜 stops. It is easy to go to drink as it is in the drinking street of Minami.
