Last update :

One of Osaka’s leading department stores, Hankyu Umeda Main Store has 13 floors above ground and two basement levels, bringing together specialty shops offering food, fashion, lifestyle products, art, sports goods, and more. The Festival Plaza, a vast 52-foot-high atrium spanning four floors from the 9th to the 12th floor, hosts limited-time markets and events. The displays along the north and south concourses on the 1st floor are also popular, attracting the attention of shoppers and passersby alike.

Founded in 1929, its combination of a railway station and department store in a single building was rare even by global standards at the time. At Chandelier Table on the 13th-floor restaurant level, visitors can see restored mosaic murals of a dragon and heavenly horse, and a lion and phoenix. Designed by Chuta Ito, the murals once adorned the concourse of the former Hankyu Umeda Station.

The store also offers a range of services unique to Hankyu Umeda Main Store. In the women’s clothing department on the 6th floor, the Personal Styling Service provides comprehensive assistance from knowledgeable professionals, including styling, hair, and makeup advice. Guests staying at designated hotels in Osaka City can also have purchases totaling at least ¥10,000 before tax on the same day delivered to their hotel’s front desk. Other helpful services include shopping assistance for seniors and people with disabilities, interpreter-assisted shopping, and temporary childcare at the Kids’ Room.

    The basement of the Hankyu Umeda Main Store is great for browsing, with just about everything you could want. You can find everything from Osaka-exclusive souvenirs, Western-style sweets, and cookies to wagashi and seasonal desserts. Whether you’re buying gifts to take home or something for yourself, you can find almost everything here in one trip. Each counter has its own specialties, and just looking at the dazzling selection of sweets makes it hard to decide. If you want to shop for souvenirs in Osaka, it’s well worth setting aside some time to explore.

    Every time I come to Osaka-Umeda Station, I have to stop by Hankyu Department Store and look around. This long-established department store is appealing not only for its overall atmosphere, but also for its tasteful product selection. Every time I walk in, I can feel a refined and elegant Japanese aesthetic.

    My favorite part is still the food hall. I can never resist taking a lap to look at all the delicate, beautiful cakes in the display cases. Just admiring them feels soothing. On a previous visit, there was also a Calpis concept store, which left a very distinctive impression.
    I was really looking forward to visiting again early this year, but unexpectedly found that the store had just closed. Such a shame… I hope I’ll have another chance to come across it somewhere else in the future.
