#OsakaTravel Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xjECQghsExFFMVBy9?g_st=ic Opening/Closing Time: 11.00-23.30 every day Today, I will introduce a famous ramen restaurant, a small hidden shop in an alley, America-Mura area. We walked here confusedly, but saw a lot of people, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered their signature menu. It's the cheapest on the menu. It turned out to be very delicious. It's a bit salty, the soup is rich, the noodles are chewy and soft. It's awesome. The shop has free plain water, plus a lot of condiments and side dishes to choose from. There are both counter bar and regular tables. You can choose your own seat. As for how to order, there is a vending machine at the front entrance. You can press and pay through the machine. After paying, take the coupon from the machine to the staff.

Japan has always been one of my bucket list destinations and last year I finally got the chance to visit! As I wandered around downtown Osaka I stumbled across the coolest area ever. Amerika-mura, also known as America Village, is an entire area that feels like you’re almost not in Japan. Firstly, there are an endless amount of thrift stores ~ everyone who works there and everyone who comes to hang out here has the most incredible vibe. It just feels so cool to be here with them. The buildings themselves have so much interesting artwork and there is also lots of graffiti and street art! #osaka #osakatrip #japan #japantrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #summerdestinations

American Village, located about 20km northeast of Naha City in Chatan Town, is an urban leisure area that mimics American style! It was developed from the ruins of the US military base in Japan and the adjacent coast, and the American Village was built using the characteristics of the concentration of US military facilities in the region! A lot of entertainment attractions and personalized shops are concentrated in the large area, which is a region loved by local young people! In the village, there are the American Village logo - a large Ferris wheel, as well as cinemas, large supermarkets, large hotels, restaurants, cafes, etc., and brick roads and coconut trees show the style of the American West Coast! Chatan Park, Sunset Beach and others are also adjacent to the American Village, so you can experience the joy of leisure and shopping together!

Let's eat some takoyaki in Americamura, a 7-minute walk from Shinsaibashi Station! The name of the shop is very impactful, but the staff are very kind and said that the decorations on the second floor were imported from Taiwan. In the beautiful shop, we had Sauce takoyaki (with green onion topping) 600 yen Salty takoyaki 500 yen Cola Calpis soda The salty one was really delicious (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵) Apparently aespa came to eat it♪ #OsakaTourism #Osaka #Gourmet #OsakaGourmet #Americamura #Takoyaki 1-16-16 Nishishinsaibashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture 542-0086

Hipsterhood, is probably the best way to describe this fun and vibrant neighborhood! It is a great area to shop for hip and trendy goods. It is also a fun place to people watch! But most of all it’s a neighborhood not to be missed. It is the place that most of the youngsters hang, it has a very cool vibe and on Sundays it is full of lots of interesting characters from all walks of life. Try to go to the toilets in the big shopping mall, they look like something out of Star trek. This place is easily accessible . Trendy street and what’s captured me more is the different varieties of food offered at the location . If you are into American brand , go for it. #givethanks #givethanks

There is an American village near Shinsaibashi, Osaka, Japan, where the buildings and street decorations are filled with American street styles of the 1960s and 1970s. There aren’t many Chinese tourists who visit this American Village. You will find more Japanese and European people here as you walk the streets. This "village" is a place that young people like, and there are many items imported from the United States. In addition, there are many authentic restaurants and coffee shops. There are also some flagship stores of well-known brands in the neighbourhood. It is convenient if you want to shop or have a bite to eat. Like other parts of Japan, the American village's goods are basically clearly priced, so you know how much tax you need to pay. There are many creative statues in the American village, such as skateboarding ladies, three or four-story slender villains, and so on. If you are traveling to Osaka, and have some time to spare, go to the American village and have a taste of the American Village. It is also a good experience.
