My favorite area in Osaka

#OsakaTravel

Kitahama is a riverside neighborhood in Osaka with a more mature atmosphere. Strolling along the river is a bit more peaceful than the more popular shopping districts, but it's filled with beautiful cafes and old brick buildings, showcasing a romantic blend of European and Japanese architecture. ☕🏛️🌿

📍 Located in Kita-ku, Osaka, it's easily accessible via the subway at Kitahama Station.
⏰ You can stroll around all day, but if you're looking to cafe-hop, most shops are open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

🌸 Don't miss these highlights:

Nakanoshima Park, a riverside stroll, is especially beautiful during rose season.

Osaka Central Public Hall, an old red brick building, is a symbol of Kitahama.

Many popular cafes include:

Brooklyn Roasting Company Kitahama – bold, cool coffee with a New York feel

MOTO COFFEE – a small riverside cafe with a romantic terrace view

Nakanoshima Social Eat Awake – a cafe and restaurant with a garden atmosphere
