Life advice: Visit this street before leaving Osaka…

Many people only know Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori when they come to Osaka, but true budget travelers should take a stroll in Nakazakicho! Full of retro vibes, the whole street feels like Osaka’s "old soul."

☕ My personal favorite shop recommendations:
▫️ OSA COFFEE
✔️ Airport-themed café✈️ Super healing pudding + ice cream ball combo! Sweet but not greasy, with a long-lasting aftertaste!
▫️ Neel Nakazakicho branch
✔️ Popular influencer café, 🍐 the coffee looks amazing, but the taste is not very outstanding
▫️ Brunnen Bakery
✔️ A bakery with 30 years of history, but it sells out quickly!
▫️ Cheers! CREPE (チアーズ！クレープ)
✔️ A crepe shop perfect for photos, sweet and visually appealing—must try for the aesthetic lovers!

🧭 My Nakazakicho walking route (leisure version)
Start from Umeda "Chayamachi" direction
➡️ Walk into the old alleys of Nakazakicho
➡️ Enter any small shop you like
➡️ Sit down for a coffee when tired
➡️ If you want dessert, just casually line up!

✅ Little tips:
✔️ Weekdays offer a better experience with fewer people, making photos more comfortable!
✔️ Wearing Japanese casual, retro, or creamy style outfits will look great in photos~
✔️ It’s recommended to bookmark the shops you want to visit in advance, or you might lose track of time!
✔️ Many shops don’t allow photography without purchase, so remember to respect the store rules!

When you come to Osaka, don’t just take photos in Shinsaibashi. Change the pace and let Nakazakicho give you a different travel experience! #OsakaTrip
