2025 Umeda Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#MusicPerformanceVenue #livehouse Address B1F Sankyo Umeda Building, 1-5 Doyamacho, Kita-ku, Osaka Facilities/Atmosphere 🎸I have always been fascinated by the heat that bursts out when the Live House collides fiercely. If you want to find a small world where you can enjoy music to your heart's content like me, then ZEELA in Umeda, Osaka, is definitely a must-visit. 🎸Starting from Umeda Station, go straight along Ogimachi-dori and you will find its entrance hidden on the first floor underground, leading you into a music space full of surprises. 🎸The ZEELA stage, which can accommodate about 200 people, is mainly standing, but there is a slightly elevated area behind the audience area to ensure an excellent view. The distance between the audience and the stage is quite close, and the gorgeous lighting effects and shocking sound system together create a passionate live atmosphere. 🎸The very considerate point is that the performance area and the beverage bar are located in different rooms. This may be a little inconvenient for fans who want to keep an eye on the performance, but it is a great advantage for events with multiple artists. When your favorite band has not yet appeared, you can take a break in the seats in the beverage bar area, and even communicate with the musicians who have finished the performance. This area will also hold peripheral merchandise sales, so you can enjoy a comfortable interactive time with your favorite artists. 🎸ZEELA's staff, from reception to bartenders, all showed a friendly attitude, which completely overturned my stereotype of the cold Live House staff and made the whole experience more comfortable and warm. 🎸There is a separate smoking area in the venue, which is very friendly to smokers. 🎸Consumption method: In addition to the ticket, you also need to purchase a 700 yen drink voucher Rating Location🎸🎸🎸🎸 Venue facilities🎸🎸🎸🎸 Atmosphere🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

🇯🇵 My 3 Days in Osaka, Japan 📍Itinerary overview 🏨 Hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dormy Inn Premium Namba Natural Hot Spring It is a hotel chain that can be found in various cities across Japan, including Tokyo. I have chosen this hotel at least five times, highly recommended to every one who wants high CP ratio! 📈 The hotel offered a relaxing stay with its natural hot spring facilities♨️, and the delicious breakfast features a seafood sashimi rice bowl 🍣. The hotel offers free midnight ramen every night from 9 to 11 PM. 🍜 🗓️ Day 1 📍Nara Deer Park 🦌 We visited the Nara Deer Park in the afternoon, unfortunately it was cloudy. The deers were so cute and gentle, deers would bow if they noticed you carrying food, politely asking if you could feed them. It added a magical touch to the experience of being surrounded by them! ⚠️ But be cautious! If they don’t get food, some of them might be quite aggressive. 📍Shopping in Shinsaibashi 🛍️ The vibrant streets were filled with an array of shops, from trendy boutiques to traditional stores, making it the perfect place to find unique souvenirs. 🦀 Dinner: Roast Seafood 😋 Ended the day with a delicious dinner featuring roast seafood, savoring fresh flavors unique to the region. The staffs would help you to roast all the seafood and what you need to do is take good photos and videos for your dinner! 📸 🗓️ Day 2 📍Tsutenkaku Tower We visited the Tsutenkaku Tower, from the observation deck, I could enjoyed the breathtaking views of Osaka. i think it would be more incredible if you visit at night time. 📍Tsutenkaku Slide 🛝 In the afternoon, I went to the Tsutenkaku slide. It only took 10 seconds to slide from top to floor, but the thrill of sliding down while taking in the sights was unforgettable! 📍Shopping in Umeda🛍️ I highly suggest you to prepare an empty suitcase if you’re heading Umeda for clothes / accessories / cute characters souvenirs. You will discover many kinds of clothing, including stylish Japanese attire, and whatever you need!! Just get ready to burn calories to vidit every mall! 💸🏃♂️💨 🍣 Dinner: Sushi 🍱 Dinner was a sushi feast, with fresh, melt-in-your-mouth seafood that left me craving more. 🗓️ Day 3 📍Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel 🎡 On the final day, I kicked things off with a ride on the Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel. The panoramic views of Osaka Bay were breathtaking, especially with the morning sun illuminating everything. 📍Osaka Bay Cruise Santa Maria 🚢 I took an Osaka Bay Cruise on the Santa Maria. The gentle breeze and scenic views made it so relaxing. The tour guide was there to provide places information that you could see on board. 📍Shopping in Shinsaibashi 🛍️ I returned to Shinsaibashi for one last shopping before departure!!

I went to "KITTE Osaka," which opened on July 31, 2024. It is located inside "JP Tower Osaka," a large complex directly connected to Osaka Station, built on the site of the former Osaka Central Post Office building. It has floors from the basement to the 6th floor, and is home to antenna shops, miscellaneous goods, and restaurants from all over Japan, making you feel like you're traveling around Japan while inside the building. This is a facility that you can't miss as a new spot for sightseeing in Osaka!

I recently visited the newly opened multi-purpose facility "Grand Green Osaka" in the Umeda area of Osaka! The centerpiece of this urban space is the approximately 45,000-square-meter Umekita Park, where greenery and waterfront areas blend harmoniously, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

A dumpling shop I accidentally found in Osaka Umeda🤤 Most of the customers in the shop are local Japanese. I am the only foreigner. I finally experienced the atmosphere of a local izakaya~ The filling of the dumplings is enough. The juice of the filling will spill directly in your mouth after you bite it. The seasoning is not too light or too salty, which is very suitable for Taiwanese people! 🥟Dandada Dumplings in Meat Sauce Osaka Umeda Store 📍Address: 6−3 Kita Osaka Shinshin Kakudacho Building, Kita Ward, Kakudacho, 530-0017, Japan 🕰️Business hours: 11:45 to midnight every day #Osaka Food #Dumplings #Izakaya

Of course! I'll write about A1 Bakery in 250 characters in a different way 👇 ⸻ I got bread at "A1 Bakery" I found in Osaka 🍞✨ It's a long-established bakery that has been loved by locals for many years, and the showcase was filled with freshly baked bread, so it was fun to choose! I bought the popular egg sandwich and the moist chocolate bread, and both were gentle and comfortingly delicious ~♡ The interior of the store has a retro atmosphere, which made me feel nostalgic. It's perfect for breakfast or a snack, and is also recommended as a gift ◎ If you like bread, this is a spot you should definitely stop by! #OsakaTrip #DomesticTrip #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

First of all, the first place I went to was Tennoji. I recommend it. Even if you buy a beer alone in Tennoji Park and drink it, it feels healing. I want to feel the emotions of Japan! Of course, there are many places like Namba, Umeda, etc., but I highly recommend Tsutenkaku. The staff are all friendly and they have a Korean menu, so I'll refer to it. I also saw the Glico Sign. If you're going to see tourist attractions other than drinking, I recommend Kyoto the most. There are many places like Kamogawa Shrine, so there's a lot to shop, eat, and the scenery is really nice. I've been going to Japan more often these days, but I want to go to Kyoto again!

【Monja & Teppan Wine Tavern JUJUJU】 Located about a 3-minute walk from Juso Station, this cozy monja restaurant offers a unique dining experience. The menu names are quirky and fun, making it tempting to choose your monja based on the name rather than the ingredients! 😂 When you order monja, you get to pick one dish from a tray full of small bowls, which adds a delightful touch to the experience. On this particular day, we made our own monja, and as a bonus, free toppings were included—what a treat! 🫶🏻 --------------------------------------- 📍 Address: 3-7-3 Yamamoto-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture 🕰️ Hours: 12:00-14:30, 17:30-21:30 --------------------------------------- 【Yakiniku Oni ni Kanabo Umeda Chayamachi Branch】 The highlight at Oni ni Kanabo is their lunch special: "Premium Domestic Wagyu Toro Momo - Meat Mabushi." The tender beef is complemented by a layer of simmered beef underneath, creating an incredibly flavorful dish! And the best part? It's only 1,600 yen, offering great value for money. If you're unsure where to have lunch in Osaka Umeda, this spot is highly recommended! ------------------------------------ 📍 Address: 14-12 Chayamachi, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 🕰️ Hours: 11:30-14:30, 17:00-23:30 🚃 Access: About a 4-minute walk from Osaka Umeda Station ------------------------------------

#Osaka Food Guide Ramen lovers who come to Umeda, Osaka, must not miss this well-known old shop "めん屋こがね". The simple industrial style decoration in the store is matched with warm lighting. Although there are not many seats, it is full of the atmosphere of craftsmen. The multi-language menu and handwritten Chinese prompts are more attentive. It is a 3-minute walk from Nakazakicho Station and is a cost-effective choice for lunch and dinner. The must-order "Special Chinese Ramen" can be called the art of soup base: the boiled soup base made of chicken bones and pork bones is thick and mellow for a long time, and it is paired with hand-kneaded whole-grain flour flat noodles, and the noodles have first-class ability to absorb soup. The most surprising thing is the "flavor switching" design of adding sour orange vinegar in the middle - the sour fragrance instantly neutralizes the rich feeling, so that a bowl of noodles has both mellow and fresh experience. The "Special Curry Dipping Noodles" is the gospel of heavy taste lovers: the spicy curry soup is thick but not greasy, and the white rice is mixed with the remaining dipping sauce, which instantly becomes salty and fragrant curry rice. This "soul eating method" makes people can't help but scrape the plate. If you want to add more, the "BBQ pork and egg rice" is a sure win: the soft-boiled egg is pierced and the golden egg liquid wraps the tender BBQ pork, and the aroma of Japanese soy sauce permeates every grain of rice. The simple but full taste is satisfying. The business hours of 11:30-16:00 for lunch and 17:00-23:00 for dinner are very suitable for flexible travel arrangements. You can taste such ingenious ramen for about 1,300 yen per person. No wonder it has become a treasure shop with a high return rate in the Umeda business district.

#Osaka Food Guide Deep in the alleys of the Umeda business district, there is this izakaya "Washiyoi Sakeba-en". If it weren't for a local friend leading the way, it would be difficult to find this treasure shop with a Google rating of 4.5. The moment you push open the wooden door, it's like walking into a Japanese drama scene: the warm yellow light reflects the handwritten menu, the aroma of charcoal grilling mixed with the freshness of seafood fills the air, and the atmosphere is full of fireworks. The must-order iced oysters are drizzled with fresh lemon juice. The fat and tender scallop meat absorbs the sweetness of the sea water. It is smooth and has no fishy taste. The lemon fragrance enhances the flavor but does not steal the show. The charcoal grilled butter scallops are even more surprising: the scallop meat is plump and chewy, wrapped in melted milk butter, and the charcoal grilled aroma and the sweetness of seafood are perfectly balanced, so fresh that people can't help but lick their fingers. The rare chicken sashimi is extremely delicate, the pink tender meat has a subtle chewy texture, and the special sauce completely subverts the imagination of sashimi. The sashimi platter and seafood salad are equally excellent, and the fish and shellfish are extremely fresh and have no fishy smell at all. Special cocktails are only 99 yen before 18:00 every day, and the charcoal-grilled snacks are very cost-effective. You can enjoy the meal for about 4,000-5,000 yen per person, and you can also visit the Umeda shopping district after the meal. It is about an 8-minute walk from Umeda Station. This place hidden in the downtown area writes a warm chapter of Osaka's late-night food halls with the aroma of charcoal and the freshness of seafood. No wonder people want to visit again and again for this taste.

#大坂美食攻略 I checked in at this popular oden restaurant in Osaka. There was already a long queue at the door of the store at 6pm. I waited for a full hour before I was seated. The two of us spent 4,400 yen. Is it worth it? Dining experience record The store is run by several grandfathers. They have prepared a picture menu, so you can easily order even if you don’t know Japanese. There are many kinds of oden, including classic ingredients such as radish, bamboo rolls, konjac, etc. The soup base is moderately salty and sweet, but the overall flavor is not much different from other oden restaurants in Ichime. The unexpected surprise is the curry udon noodles - the rich curry sauce wrapped in the chewy udon, salty and slightly spicy, is the most recommended dish in the venue. Real evaluation The advantages are that the dishes are served quickly, the grandfathers are friendly, and the warm yellow lights in the store create a warm atmosphere. But to be honest, queuing for an hour to taste the "not much different" taste is really not cost-effective. We observed that more than 90% of the customers in the store were Chinese. We speculated that this may have become a "check-in point" due to online recommendations rather than winning by taste.

#Osaka Food Guide This Italian restaurant Aleguro, hidden in Namba and Umeda, Osaka, is a safe choice that will make you fall in love with it at first try. It has no gorgeous decoration, but it has become a popular choice with its strength. The Naples-style pizza in the town is freshly baked at 500 degrees. The outer crust is crispy with wheat aroma, and the inside is soft and stringy. It is said that the owner has won the World Pizza Competition. The rich milky aroma blooms in the mouth as soon as it enters the mouth, which is not an exaggeration at all. The seasonal appetizer platter is full of ingenuity. Buffalo mozzarella cheese is paired with raw ham, strawberries and arugula. The salty and fragrant taste is mixed with fruit sweetness, which is a great choice for wine. The pasta adheres to the traditional route. It does not play with creativity but makes the sauce very solid, especially the seafood pasta. The rich tomato sauce is wrapped with chewy noodles, and you can taste the freshness of fresh shellfish in every bite. The price is quite affordable. You can have a rich lunch for 2,000 yen per person, and dinner for about 4,000 yen. The space inside the store is not big, but it has a relaxed atmosphere of "you can easily date without dressing up". Whether it is pizza, pasta or appetizers, you will not go for disappointment. There is no pretentious service, only solid and delicious food. Remember to make a reservation in advance. This old store is worth visiting again and again, and it will definitely give you a lot of taste surprises in Osaka.

Osaka never disappoints! 🌟 Spent amazing days exploring Umeda’s vibrant city views, cheering at a thrilling baseball match 🎌, and enjoying the magic of Universal Studios Japan 🎢. Ate my weight in delicious takoyaki & okonomiyaki 🤤. Night strolls through Namba were the perfect way to end each day. #OsakaTrip #Umeda #USJ #Namba #Takoyaki #Okonomiyaki #JapanTravel #BaseballJapan #FoodieTravel

Mark this neighborhood and get your friends together to find the treasure!

#osakaitinerary Osaka is the second biggest city in Japan after Tokyo. That means, when the sun sets over Osaka, the typical city vibe comes alive with an electric energy that’s impossible to ignore. Neon lights flicker to life in a kaleidoscope of colors, casting a glow over bustling streets packed with laughter, sizzling street food, and the rhythmic chatter of izakayas. One of the most happening neighborhoods is Dotonbori, which transform into a sensory overload: giant animated signs tower overhead, music spills out of bars and arcades, and the aroma of takoyaki and grilled meats fills the air. There’s a playful, unpretentious charm to Osaka at night, where strangers become friends over shared plates and locals welcome you with warm, boisterous hospitality. The upper-end neighbourhood would be Umeda region, which is equally well lit though feeling a lil more distant/cold.

#Osaka Shopping Guide Osaka is a shopping paradise, and Shinsaibashi PARCO is a must-visit place for anime fans, where there are many chiikawa and other animation-related products. The adjacent shopping street is a concentration of drugstore cosmetics. It is recommended to shop around because each drugstore has different offers and discounts, so you can find the most cost-effective product. The Umeda area is mainly high-end shopping malls, suitable for finding luxury brands. However, for affordable clothing, I recommend Luck Rack, which has many affordable options and vintage stores. Generally speaking, the prices of GU and UNIQLO are similar to the prices after the special offers in Hong Kong. During the promotion period, the prices can even be as low as half the price in Hong Kong, which is very cost-effective! Whether it's high-end or budget, Osaka has shopping options to suit your needs! 🕰️Business hours: Monday to Sunday: 10:00 - 21:00 📍Address: 8-7 Tsunoda-cho, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan

#Osaka Transportation Guide Osaka's Umeda business district is bustling, but the unique little streets hidden around it are hidden gems for filming!

Osaka is really a shopping paradise! It’s simply not enough to reserve a day to stroll from Shinsaibashi to Umeda – it’s recommended to choose between Shinsaibashi and Umeda, and most importantly, close to the subway station! After buying in the morning you can go back to the hotel to drop off the loot and continue the second game in the afternoon. If you will be going to Kyoto, it is recommended to stay at Yodoyabashi because it is the starting station for the Keihan Railway to Kyoto, which is very convenient. 🌟Beforehand Tips: Be sure to make a list! Go to the ones you want to buy the most first, otherwise the hot items in the afternoon will be gone. Focus on two or three locations to shop, don't fly around, otherwise you will be like me, there are still many unbought before leaving🥲 1️⃣ Most importantly❗ Big brand cosmetics are recommended to buy the cheapest when leaving the country at Rishang Duty Free Shop! You can replenish your stock when you enter the country, remember to scan the 95% discount code (search "Play Sunrise" or "Duty Free Shopping Gang" in the mini program), and get 90% off when you spend 6,000 RMB, cheaper than in Japan and get a tax refund. Example: A 90ml bottle of Anni Sunshine only costs a hundred dollars, but 60ml costs 2780 yen in Osaka drugstores. And can be stored on the spot, does not occupy your luggage allowance, no stock to buy in Osaka ~ 2️⃣ Glasses recommended early, ordinary Nikon lenses get the same day, a pair of glasses about 400 RMB, and a second half price discount ~ do not recommend your favorite to talk about Namba Station Owndays, feel a bit pit 😅 I asked him to get high-end lenses even said no, in fact, available ... Shinsaibashi and Umeda have many optical shops have Chinese clerk, not afraid of communication problems. Even if there are only Japanese clerks, it's OK to use translation software to find a patient clerk 3️⃣ buy a lot of cosmeceuticals remember to find the door with Chinese discount sign those stores buy, mostly stated 30,000 yen or more have 95% off. Lightning Avoidance Shinsaibashi Daguo Cosmetics!! ️ Randomly increasing the price checkout will scare, not recommended. Although many people say os drug is cheap, in fact, after the discount + tax refund is almost the same, even less stock. I buy myself according to @Kosme Grand Prize, ihada sleeping mask, Kose makeup setting spray, Shelgam those are hard to find. 4️⃣ Luxury brands If you have a 62-star UnionPay credit card (debit card can not), go to Daimaru Department Store, remember to get the "Journey Global Shopping" discount (95% off + 2% cash back), plus UnionPay's own 2% cash back, equal to help you make up the tax refund fee ~ to scan the promo code to count the cash back❗️ 5️⃣ Buy other brands is the same strategy: large items concentrated in one mall to buy all, do not go around ~ no stock to go to another store. The most wanted to buy must go early, the later the harder to find ~ Umeda Hankyu Department Store brand most complete (with 95% off + tax refund), interested brand recommendations see P3. #OsakaShopping #Osaka Free Trip #Osaka Travel Guide #Osaka Guide #Osaka Drugstore #Hisaka Duty Free Shop #Japan Must Buy #Shinsaibashi Shopping #Umeda Department Store #Osaka Shopping List #Osaka Shopping Tips
