[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Namba Parks (Updated May)

The first time I saw photos of Namba Parks, I was captivated by its streamlined greenery, reminiscent of Antelope Canyon. During this trip to Osaka, I made sure to set aside time to see this legendary 'urban oasis' for myself. Namba Parks is not just a shopping mall; it feels more like a forest stage within the city, a true urban healing space in my heart. The entire structure resembles a series of layered hills, with walls and rooftops covered in plants. Open from 10 AM until late at night, it's perfect for shopping, dining, watching movies, or simply strolling, daydreaming, or meeting friends for a chat. If you don't want to enter the mall, you can take the path from the back and walk up, enjoying different views on each level, as if you're slowly climbing an urban garden. The day I visited was overcast, with a cool early spring breeze. The plants hadn't fully revived yet, but the place still felt vibrant. I remember slowly walking up the stairs and seeing a girl sitting at the top, looking a bit melancholic. Her friend walked up from below, and they sat silently together, gazing at the cityscape. At that moment, I felt that this place was more than just a mall; it was a sanctuary for the people of Osaka. The design details of Namba Parks are truly beautiful, even the restrooms have a natural style that blends seamlessly with the surroundings. The greenery is not forced to be perfect; it respects the natural growth of the plants, and seeing a few yellowing leaves here and there feels authentic. The most surprising thing is that the park isn't cluttered with random sculptures or advertisements; the architecture itself is the star. As someone who isn't an architecture expert, I may not understand much about structural design, but every corner of this place feels visually pleasing, and my steps naturally slow down. There's an indescribable sense of ease that makes you want to sit for a while and continue exploring at a leisurely pace. If you long for a moment of tranquility in the city without straying too far from urban conveniences, Namba Parks is definitely worth adding to your itinerary. You might even want to spend an entire afternoon here, just unwinding. Address: 2-10-70 Namba-Naka, Chuo-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Namba PARKS

We took the subway to Osaka's Namba Station, eager to explore a different side of the city. As soon as we stepped out of the station, the city's hustle and bustle surrounded us, but just a few steps away, Namba Park seemed like an entrance to another world. Namba Park, the most famous urban green space in the Namba area, is located on the upper floors of a high-rise building near Namba Station. It is a large commercial complex that combines shopping, dining, and entertainment, making it very convenient to access. Walking into Namba Park felt like stepping into a sky garden. Unlike Osaka's busy streets, this place features modern and artistic designs. As we climbed the stairs, each level felt like a mini oasis, allowing us to wander between high-rise buildings and forget the passage of time. Immersed in a relaxing atmosphere, it felt like an oasis in the city, making it a perfect spot for a stroll and relaxation in the heart of Osaka.

\\Recommended points// This restaurant offers a course that combines "Omi beef," one of the three great Japanese beefs, with home-grown "Omi vegetables." This time, we chose the lean meat "Niku" course. Not only were the appetizers impressive, but the salad served midway through was topped with shaved bonito, making for a gorgeous meal that was a feast for the eyes as well. In addition to the courses, there are also a la carte menus and lunches, all of which looked delicious. The restaurant, which just opened on the 7th floor of Namba Parks on November 21, 2023, has a calm atmosphere and is recommended for anniversaries and girls' nights.

#myfoodies Address - GyoGyoGyo (Level 6, Namba Park) 2 Chome-10-70 Nanbanaka, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0011, Japan Ambiance/Facilities/Highlights - Traditional Japanese Restaurant Avg. Price per Person - 950¥ ++ Rating - Good In the heart of Namba Park, under the soft glow of hanging lanterns, my friend and I embarked on a culinary adventure at GyoGyoGyo. The ambiance was a symphony of chatter and clinking utensils, creating a perfect backdrop for our evening. As we settled into Level 6, the aroma of sizzling delights filled the air. I opted for the Super Rich Fish White Ramen, a bowl of velvety broth teeming with delicate flavors that danced on my taste buds. Across the table, my friend savored the simplicity of Salt Ramen, its subtle seasoning complementing the chewy noodles. Our conversation flowed seamlessly, punctuated by exclamations of delight with each slurp. The panoramic view of Namba added an extra layer of magic to the experience. Amidst the laughter and shared stories, GyoGyoGyo became more than a restaurant—it became a cherished chapter in the book of our friendship, a place where culinary delights mirrored the richness of our connection. #trip #2023travel #2023trip #2023travelwish #2023旅行願望 #timetotravel #tripblazers #historical #heritage #deliciousfood #supportlocal

Hello! I recently went to Osaka. I would like to recommend a shopping spot 🛍️ Usually, Dotonbori is a popular Osaka travel destination! Before going to Dotonbori, I recommend shopping at ‘Namba Parks’ located in Namba Station. 💸 There are stores that sell brands that are hard to find in Korea, such as Comme des Garçons, Porter, Vivienne, Bishop, and Stussy, and that sell them at lower prices than in Korea. There is also a luggage storage inside Namba Station, so you can shop comfortably, and you can get a tax-free coupon on the 7th floor of Namba Parks, so if you are planning a shopping trip, I recommend this place 👍 📍Address: 2 Chome-10-70 Nanbanaka, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0011 Japan ⏰ Business hours: 11:00 AM - 11:00 PM every day ✔ It is a complex shopping mall with shopping and restaurants, and it is close to the subway station (Namba Station) and Dotonbori. #Osaka travel #Osaka #Japan #Japan travel #Overseas travel #Shopping #Shopping travel #Japan shopping #Namba Parks #Namba #Namba station

HARBS - A must-try cake shop when visiting Japan HARBS Namba Parks Store address: Japan〒556-0011 Osaka, Naniwa Ward, Nanbanaka, 2 Chome−10−7 Nanba Park Environment/Facilities: The HARBS we will introduce this time is on the 3rd floor of Namba Parks. This store is different from the one I visited last time in Tokyo. The last Tokyo store we visited was a counter in a shopping mall, and it only offered takeout, not dine-in. This Namba store is different. It provides dine-in service, and there is a requirement that each person dining in must order at least one drink! Since this HARBS sells not only cakes but also savory foods such as spaghetti and sandwiches, there are still many people lining up even during dinner time, and it usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to get a seat. feature: Fruit Thousand Layer Cake - is a must-order signature product. Full of fresh fruits and topped with sweet but not greasy whipped cream, you will definitely regret it if you don’t try it. Average consumption per capita: $50 score: 9/10 #osaka

#OsakaTravel #OsakaTravel I always go on food trips when I travel to Japan(!), so I don't usually order hotel breakfast. On my Osaka trip, I had a simple morning set of coffee and toast at Komeda Coffee in Namba Station! It's a chain store, so I like it because I can go anywhere. If you order coffee, toast is free in the morning! I highly recommend the morning set :) If you're looking for a place to eat breakfast while traveling in Osaka, I highly recommend Komeda Coffee in Namba Station! #OsakaCafe #Namba

I went to Urth caffe Namba in Namba Parks for breakfast. I noticed that they had Italian sandwiches, paninis, on the menu, so I had the Caprese panini. The mozzarella cheese was chewy and went well with the sourness of the tomatoes and basil, and it was delicious. The cafe latte was surprisingly large, and I was very satisfied. I went in right after the store opened, so it was empty and the seats were far apart, so I was able to relax. I think I'll stop by again if I come to Namba Parks. #Osaka #Namba #NambaGourmet #NambaCafe #OsakaGourmet

At Namba Station in Osaka, there is a commercial complex called "Namba Parks"✨✨✨ On the top floor, there is a movie theater called "Namba Parks Cinema"✨✨ The reason why I recommend it is because the seats in front and behind are wide and there is a wide variety of movies. If you are a movie lover, why not watch a movie that is being screened in Japan during your trip? ? Watch a movie with popcorn and cola✨ #Couple trip #Western Japan
