This street has everything—food, entertainment, and shopping. There are so many takoyaki places, and they're always super popular.

Namba Marui
Located in the heart of Osaka's Minami area, Namba, it is directly connected to the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line Namba Station via an underground pathway, allowing customers to enter without getting wet even on rainy days. It also has good access from other JR and private railway stations.
There are lots of options for clothes, shoes, and accessories, but not many luxury brands. If you just want to experience the vibe of a Japanese department store, this place feels more relaxed than Takashimaya.

Sumiyoshi Taisha
The head shrine of 2300 Sumiyoshi shrines nationwide, revered as the god of cleansing evil spirits, safe voyage and poetry. It is said that Osaka’s summer festival begins with Aizen Festival, via Tenjin Festival and ends with Sumiyoshi Festival.
This is one of the biggest parks in Osaka. It's great for taking photos and going for a walk.

Osaka Tenmangu Shrine
This shrine is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, known as the god of learning. The shrine has been known as "Tenjin-san of Tenma" by the people of Osaka since ancient times, and since its establishment in 949, people have entrusted it with all kinds of wishes, including those for plague, learning, and entertainment. During the exam season, the shrine is crowded with students preparing for exams.
This shrine is dedicated to academic success and achievements. Many Japanese students come here to pray for good results before their exams.
