Osaka Nakazakicho｜A favorite spot for Japanese-style hipsters to explore and unwind

If you love Japanese niche styles, Nakazakicho is definitely a hidden gem for a city walk in Osaka! This area is filled with adorable little shops, perfect for spending half a day leisurely exploring. Although I forgot to take pictures of many shop fronts, these two are must-visits! 🌿 Salon de AManTo Tenjin (Cafe) 📍Location: Nakazakicho 2-4 Enjoy coffee surrounded by lush greenery—it feels like stepping into a secret garden! The interior is designed with a natural vibe, featuring wooden tables and chairs paired with green plants, creating a super soothing atmosphere. Highly recommend ordering a hand-drip coffee with a dessert to quietly savor the slow-paced moments. It's also a great spot for Instagram-worthy photos! 👚 popeye (Vintage Clothing Store) Nakazakicho has many vintage clothing stores, but most of them lean towards oversized styles. This shop, however, truly understands women! It offers a curated selection of retro pieces that suit Asian body types, whether you're into Japanese fresh styles or American vintage vibes. The prices are affordable, and it's a joy to browse. Vintage fashion lovers, don't miss this one! ❗️Tips to Avoid Disappointment The popular influencer spot, neel, may have high traffic, but based on personal experience, the food and drinks are quite average. If you're just looking to take photos, you can drop by, but it's not worth a special trip. The charm of Nakazakicho lies in its unexpected surprises. Even if you don't note down shop names, wandering into random alleys might lead you to hidden treasures! Next time you're in Osaka, remember to slow down and soak in the relaxed vibe of this area.
