Osaka | Nakazaki - cho

Osaka | Nakazaki - cho is a love letter from Osaka to the literati and art - loving souls 💌 🌟🌸 Kiss and run, I'm off! 💨 This time, it's off to Osaka ✈️ In addition to Orange Street, Nakazaki - cho is also a great choice when visiting Osaka. ✨ Nakazaki - cho is an old - fashioned district near Umeda in Osaka, preserving low - rise houses and Showa - era architecture. The maze - like alleys connect cafes, vintage clothing stores, and Japanese - style shops, as if you've time - traveled back to the old days. 🌟🌸 With few tourists, it's perfect for avoiding crowds and leisurely exploring every corner for delightful surprises! 📸 ✨ Japan's first cat café 🐈: It's said to have opened in 2004, but unfortunately, it wasn't open when we visited. ✨ Showa - style coffee "healing space" ☕️: Hidden in an old building, this tatami - mat café only opens on weekends! The tonkatsu set meal and matcha latte are highly recommended. The tableware and decor are full of nostalgic charm. ✨ Artistic trinket shops & vintage clothing stores 👗: You can find handmade jewelry, retro clothing, and even experience Lolita - style fashion (super popular with Chinese tourists!). It's easy to take beautiful Japanese - style photos here. 🚇 Transportation Tip Take Exit 4 from Nakazaki - cho Station on the subway's Tanimachi Line. It's just a 5 - minute walk away. 🍃🌺 It's recommended to plan a half - day visit in the afternoon. Many shops aren't open in the morning, so there's no need for a detailed route. Just wander around and let serendipity guide you - that's the best way to explore this place! #Nakazaki - cho #Umeda #OsakaTravel #KansaiTravelTips
