#gw2022jp A fashion town for young people in Kansai. There are many apparel stores, including second-hand clothing stores. However, all of them have products aimed at young people, so unfortunately there was not a single store that suited me as a middle-aged person💦 But it's lively and great!! There are lots of photogenic spots! #Osaka #Amemura

#gw2022jp Amemura has many cafes and second-hand clothes and they are all perfect for social media!! There are so many cute places, it's fun to explore them! It's been a while since I last came here, but it was really crowded! #Amemura #Osaka #Second-hand clothes #Darzy Pie

I went to Okan Shokudo, a restaurant in the America-mura area of ​​Osaka Prefecture! Okan Shokudo is a restaurant run by a female owner (Okan). They serve set meals with rice, miso soup, a main dish and many small side dishes. The main dish changes every day, so you'll want to go back again and again! Inside the restaurant, there are lots of posters of Saijo Hideki, Okan's favorite! It just like Okan's room at her parents' house. The entrance is a little hard to find, so please refer to the 5th and 6th pictures!

I heard that the takoyaki shop in Amerimura is delicious, so I went there to eat some. As expected, it is a famous shop, and there are many autographs of celebrities lined up. #Wanaka #Amerimura #Osaka #Gourmet #Supporting Tourism

#OsakaShopping Strategy This time the main attack on the Shinsaibashi battle zone is really weak! The drugstore here is denser than sandworms, Matsumoto Kiyoshi and Dakoku Cosmetics compete for discounts, SK-II has a deal at 70% off at the authorized drugstore, the gift bag is as beautiful as the counter ~ Ghost Tsukasa has so many models that it's difficult to choose, try it on and leave with a pair of white shoes😎 Turning the corner into Dotonbori is simply food hell! Seitaro octopus balls bite open the juice, 100 yen cheesecake hot threaded to the ceiling; but the turtle king ramen queue line up to the stomach crazy, see the queue directly change the venue to eat lobster ramen more affordable 🤣 Kuromon market really have a look, the surrounding izakaya's Osaka grill is the soul Walk to Tangerine Street to know what is called fashion brand paradise ~ Supreme small shop but the goods are super good, the clerk insulted: "only this, only this size, not buy for the people in line behind it"😤 American Village is really a lie, the whole street is Yiwu T-shirt! The lion head at Yasaka Shrine in Namba is great for taking pictures, but I'd rather go to Fushimi Inari to buy it.

Located west of Midosuji, Amerika-Mura is the heart of Osaka’s streetwear and third-wave coffee craze, made up of trendy, youth-focused and alternative shops, as well as cafes, bars, tattoo and piercing shops, nightclubs, hair salons and a few low-key love hotels. In the middle is Triangle Park, an all-concrete "park" with benches where you can sit and watch the fashion parade. At night, it is a popular gathering spot. Nearby, look for street lamps with stick figure motifs, some painted by artists; a mural of Peace on Earth (1983) by Osaka artist Seitaro Kuroda, and, of course, a mini Statue of Liberty. Ame-Mura takes its name from the stores that popped up after World War II, selling American goods like Zippo lighters and T-shirts. American Village is located between Midosuji Station on the Midosuji Subway Line and Yotsubashi Station on the Yotsubashi Subway Line. You can reach America Village by walking directly west from Midosuji Station or east from Yotsubashi Station. #Osaka Attractions

I went to the Amemura branch of [Abura Soba Kirinji] in Osaka Prefecture! I definitely wanted to go to Kirinji when I went to Osaka, and it was a long-awaited place. I went there after lunch, but there was a long line.💦 I bought a meal ticket, and I ordered the normal abura soba for 800 yen.🍜 The taste was so good... The sauce and chili oil that entangled the noodles were irresistible.💕 I ate it with vinegar and chili oil in several rounds.🤤 It seems that there are several Kirinji stores, so please try the one near you.☺️ 📍Address: 1-6-17 Nishishinsaibashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 542-0086 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-22:00 💰Price per person: From 800 yen #100's travel style #Osaka gourmet #Kirinji

#JapanTravel Osaka is a food paradise. In fact, I recommend going to a neighborhood called America-mura rather than the popular Dotonbori or Namba City areas. There are many delicious restaurants, but there are also Western-style restaurants that have been around for nearly 100 years and cafes that will make you emotional. There are also many ramen restaurants, so I recommend America-mura and Umeda. The neighborhood with the best cost-effectiveness. It is called a slum, but it is not dangerous at all. There are many accommodations, izakayas, and restaurants that offer great value for money. But don't go out alone late at night..

#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent #OsakaFashion I visited Osaka, the fashion mecca 🔥 Various shoes, clothes, and accessories! #JapanUniqlo also has more varieties and is cheaper than Korea! They are prepared in low, medium, and high price categories, so Osaka fashion shopping is a must!! #I really recommend visiting Osaka, the fashion mecca for couples 🩷

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

It's so cold in Japan, I don't know where to buy clothes because they're expensive!! Come this way, open the map, walk to American Mura!!🚐 Very cheap, mom, which is a lot of clothing brands Both new and second-hand brands and most importantly, the condition is very good🏆 It's worth the price. If we got the clothes from Thailand, it would be more than a thousand baht. When we got them here, they were only a few hundred baht😇 It's worth it!!! Let's wait and see where it goes next. Will there be more second-hand clothes for us to shop for? 🪴🍂 #Flying to Hong Kong

The takoyaki in Amemura was delicious. I also went to a cafe filled with plants, which was very relaxing. I ate cheesecake at noon+, a hidden gem in Umeda.
