[2025 Osaka Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Takashimaya(Osaka Store) (Updated Apr)

Want to eat hearty soba noodles and be close to Namba Station? This one on the 7th floor of Takashimaya Osaka store is a good choice. #扣麦しゃぶ總家浪花そば is a traditional soba noodle shop. The noodles are ground in-house using a stone mill, and they also serve soba shabu-shabu. ✨Bonbori Bento (JPY 1980) This lunch is super filling. In addition to side dishes, there are also sashimi and some seasonal dishes, all of which taste quite special. The most delicious thing is the sushi made with buckwheat noodles. The Japanese soy sauce jelly on top is very strong and a little salty. There were also several pieces of tempura, the batter wasn't too thick. It's quite filling when you add rice and soba noodles. The buckwheat noodles have just the right amount of springiness and the hot soup is flavourful. ✨Ten-ra-O-Zori Imperial Set Meal (JPY2680) This is quite similar to the former. Tempura will be relatively richer with maitake mushrooms, squid, etc. There is also more salmon in sashimi. This one also comes with rice, but it’s just white rice, and a side of cold soba noodles. Both have warabimochi as dessert, but I feel that the Bonbori Bento is happier. ✨肉つけ (JPY 1300) This is soba noodles eaten as tsukemen. The buckwheat noodles were quite generous in portion, sprinkled with white sesame seeds which made them more fragrant, and the noodles were chewy when eaten. The dipping noodle soup is sukiyaki style, with pork and onions in it. When eating, you can also add the fried burdock root and eggs into the dipping noodle soup to make the taste more mellow. Finally, mix the light buckwheat water into the remaining buckwheat noodle soup. It is a good way to end your meal. . .

| Natsume's Book of Friends pop-up event. This Natsume's Book of Friends pop-up event includes a cafe and a pop-up store, which will be held in Osaka, Tokyo, and other places. The first phase of the Osaka cafe is located in the annex of Takashimaya, which is a simple partition in the public area, with a few pictures on the wall, which is relatively simple. Each item comes with a coaster, and if you spend more than 3,500 yen on food and drinks, you will get a sticker. There are not many options for the surroundings, so I ordered three meals, which didn't taste very good... - 🍔Cod burger + hash browns and chicken nuggets, I wanted to choose a salty one, but the cod, hash browns, and chicken nuggets were all cold and dry, and the skin was sticky, with no crispy texture at all, worse than overnight food, and Nyanko-sensei would definitely not like it. - 🍫Cocoa is available in hot and cold options, and the pattern on top is cute! The quality of the cream is average. 🍇Grape-flavored soda, looks good, tastes good. - The coaster pattern is nice, but it feels like you spent 1,000 yen for a coaster... In addition, there is a Natsume's Book of Friends pop-up store in Namba Marui, which is a few minutes' walk away, and the surroundings are not rich. - 🌟The second phase of the event will be held at and GALLERY Dotonbori, 1-9-19 Dotonbori, Chuo-ku, Osaka, Osaka Shochikuza Building B1F Date: 2024/12/14-2025/01/13

Sometimes I wonder why I come to Japan to visit department stores that are also available in Taiwan. However, I think what makes Japanese department stores different is that their underground streets gather many famous dim sum shops. So if anyone needs to buy souvenirs, I highly recommend that they go to the underground streets of department stores to look for them. Department stores usually invite a bunch of famous stores to move in, so you don’t need to go to several places to collect famous dim sum from all over Japan at once to take back as souvenirs. Then, if you are shopping, you can also go to the food court upstairs to dine. I remember that there were restaurants on the seventh and eighth floors. The prices were reasonable, and the quality was certain so you wouldn’t have to go back to bad restaurants. It is very touching that the elevators in department stores are equipped with chairs for the elderly to sit down.

#JuneTravelSupportEvent The food section of Takashimaya Department Store in Namba is the best👍 They have a variety of desserts and food, so it's a feast for the eyes. You should definitely visit... If you were asked to name the 5 best department stores in Osaka, I think this is the place to go.

1️⃣ Aoyama Menswear, buying clothes for my husband. The store clerk brought out everything he could wear, haha, Japanese people are slim, so there weren't many pieces Because of the language barrier, the clerk used their store's iPad to log into a live translation platform to serve us, which was quite convenient. Altering trouser legs, embroidering names, tax-free in the store, the whole set took a while, but the service was really thorough. 2️⃣ Continued to navigate to Takashimaya Department Store, which is actually just across the street from Aoyama Menswear, just cross the road to get there. See picture 1️⃣ Takashimaya is positioned as more upscale, with all the big brands. Nearby, you can search for Markey's children's clothing, which is pretty. 🌟 Then go upstairs to purchase Chanel🙄 You need to fill in an email address on-site to make an appointment, and then wait. After receiving the email, you have to rush back to the store within 10 minutes 3️⃣ Use your passport to get a Takashimaya hello Kitty card, which offers discounts at some counters, and you can enjoy an additional discount on top of the sale. 4️⃣ Tax refund counter on the seventh floor of Takashimaya for tax refunds, the procedure is super simple, just show your passport, receipt, and present the Ctrip activity barcode (Ctrip has promotions), choose the method of tax refund, cash is the best option, as there is no 'accounting' fee. However, the mall does charge a service fee for tax refunds, with a tax rate of 10% and a service fee of 1.55%, so the actual tax refund is about 8.45%. If you choose to refund to a bank card or WeChat, Alipay, then the 💰 will be even less. It's more cost-effective to get cash back. 5️⃣ The flagship stores in Shinsaibashi close at 19:30. 🙄 Could only casually stroll along the street and see what's there. 6️⃣ Drugstores are everywhere, it's better to do some homework in advance, otherwise it's dazzling. Also, some drugstores offer membership registration at checkout, WeChat payment with exchange rate discounts, or full reduction promotions.

This cafe is located inside Namba Dining Maison on the 7th floor of Osaka Takashimaya. The interior was modeled after a hotel lounge and had a luxurious feel. I ordered a cake set, but everything looked so delicious that it was hard to choose. The cakes were relatively large and filling. It's located in the restaurant area of ​​the department store, so it's open relatively late at night, making it easy to visit.

Japan Travel Guide For my first trip abroad, I chose Japan, a country I have longed to visit. I was looking forward to experiencing the manga-like atmosphere, and the actual trip did not disappoint. Preparation: Before departure, I prepared cash in Japanese yen, exchanging 5000 RMB per person. Additionally, I applied for a Visa credit card and linked it with my China Merchants Bank account to WeChat and Alipay, which offered the most cost-effective payment method. To ensure easy internet access, I purchased a data SIM card on Taobao, which is very convenient in Japan. For ease of travel, I also got an ICOCA transportation card, which allowed me to use subways and buses effortlessly in Osaka and other regions of Japan. Itinerary: My plan for Japan was: 4 days in Osaka + 2 days in Kyoto + 4 days in Tokyo, totaling ten days and nine nights. We chose to depart at the end of May when the weather is very pleasant, slightly cooler than in China, perfect for sightseeing and shopping. Although it rains often in Japan, it's usually just a brief shower that doesn't affect our plans. Always carry an umbrella just in case. Osaka: We started our journey in Osaka, a city with bustling shopping districts and an abundance of delicious food. I recommend staying in the city center of Osaka for convenience in travel and shopping. Daimaru Department Store, Takashimaya, and Umeda Hankyu near Shinsaibashi are great places for shopping. Foreign tourists can enjoy a 5% discount and tax refund by presenting their passports, and with the current exchange rate, shopping is very cost-effective. Of course, Universal Studios Osaka is a must-visit, especially the globally exclusive Mario Park parade float show, which is utterly immersive. In Osaka, you can also try local delicacies such as grilled meat, sushi, ramen, etc., which will surely satisfy your taste buds. Kyoto: Leaving Osaka, we headed to the historic city of Kyoto. Here, I suggest visiting Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kamogawa, and Shijo Kawaramachi. The beauty of Arashiyama is enchanting, with blue skies, bamboo groves, and moss-covered paths that make you feel as if you're in a fairyland. Kamogawa is a great place to relax; sitting by the river in the evening and watching passersby feels like being in a manga. Kyoto also has many temples and shrines where you can experience the rich traditional Japanese culture. Tokyo: Finally, we arrived in bustling Tokyo. Harajuku, Shibuya, Omotesando, Shinjuku, Ginza, and Daikanyama are must-visit spots. Tokyo's commercial scale is breathtaking, with each shopping district being vast, and you won't get tired of exploring all day. Ginza is a beautiful and convenient shopping district and my preferred place to stay. Of course, you should also try local foods in Tokyo, such as sushi, grilled meat, ramen, tempura, etc. Additionally, there are many attractions worth visiting, such as Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Tower, and more. Returning home, I was filled with memories and satisfaction. Although this was my first visit to Japan and it was a solo trip, some time was spent on transportation, and I missed some sights I wanted to see, this trip made me look forward to my next visit to Japan even more. The charm and culture of Japan left a deep impression on me, and whether it was shopping, food, or natural scenery, it was unforgettable.

On my trip to Osaka with my younger sibling, we both liked sashimi, so we ate a lot. If you eat at a restaurant or izakaya, it costs too much I bought 4-5 thousand yen worth at the seafood corner in the basement of Takashiyama Department Store! It's aged so it's light and delicious The high-quality sake we drank together, Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginbyou, was also very delicious ㄷ#sake #hocation #sashimi #Osakatrip
