Stop Crowding Shinsaibashi! ๐ถโโ๏ธ
The Super Cool Amerika-mura Just One Block Away โผ๏ธ ๐ธ๐ I often grab a weekend to visit Osaka, and I frequently hear my friends ask, โWhatโs so great about Osaka? ๐๐Itโs just crowded, with long lines, tacky, and all the sameโฆโ If you only stick to the Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori area, thatโs exactly what youโll get. ๐ธ๐ But Osaka actually has so many niche, trendy neighborhoods perfect for city walks that are worth exploring. ๐๐Just west of Shinsaibashi is Amerika-mura, which is a must-visit every time I come to Osaka. Itโs absolutely the chilliest spot in Kansai โผ๏ธ This place is the Kansai version of Harajuku | Street culture + Vintage paradise + A haven for retro enthusiasts ๐ธ๐ Photo-worthy 100% | Graffiti walls, rainbow staircases, American retro street scenes Niche trends with high cost-effectiveness | A hidden gem for local young people, a great place to find cool brands on a budget ๐๐ Iโve been here at least five times in recent years, and I truly discover something new every single time โผ๏ธ #Osaka ๐๐
