Ebisubashi-suji Shopping Street in Osaka is really lively! I came in the afternoon this time, and it was already very crowded. The entire shopping street was full of visitors browsing and enjoying the food, and everywhere you walked, you could feel Osaka's lively atmosphere.
There are lots of drugstores, clothing stores, souvenir shops, and restaurants along the way, so you can take your time browsing and shopping without ever running out of things to see. The crowds increase noticeably as you get closer to Dotonbori. If you like shopping and buying souvenirs, this is definitely a place to include in your Osaka itinerary. However, it gets quite crowded around noon, so if you prefer a more relaxed shopping experience, consider avoiding peak hours.
