One of Osaka’s busiest retail destinations combines high-end dining with a range of interesting shopping opportunities among seriously impressive skyscrapers.

Nowhere are Osaka’s commercial credentials better displayed than in Umeda’s bustling retail area. Visit a wide array of shops, enjoy insights into Japanese culture and admire the district’s fascinating urban architecture.

Arrive at Osaka Station, a major railway transfer point and a lively center for business and culture. This complex was radically renovated in 2011 and now stars as Osaka Station City. Appreciate its vast glass roof and elegant designs as you head out to explore the shopping centers on either side. Ascend the North Gate Building, home to the stylish LUCUA Osaka mall, to reach a scenic rooftop garden.

Navigate the Daimaru department store’s many floors of fashion and food to reach the Pokemon Centre Osaka. With countless games, toys and other paraphernalia for sale, plus a dedicated Pokemon Card Station, this commercial shrine to Japan’s famous “Pocket Monsters” is beloved by children and adults alike.

Just across the street, try specialty foods and browse Hanshin Tigers baseball team merchandise at the flagship Hanshin Department Store.

Roam around the Herbis Plaza and the neighboring Herbis Plaza ENT. This large commercial complex includes big-brand company stores, luxury flagships, smaller specialty boutiques and a wide array of international restaurants.

Watch a play by one of Japan’s best-known theatrical companies at the Shiki Theatre or listen to music at the Billboard Live concert venue. Alternatively, head to the Sankei Hall Breeze, a unique performance space at the heart of the giant Breeze Tower.

Visit the tall Umeda Sky Building, with two separate towers connected at the 39th floor. Ride the elevator to the Floating Garden Observatory, enjoying panoramic views of the city’s high-rises and waterways. Descend to the building’s basement where food markets are inspired by the mid-century Showa period.

Although the name Umeda is sometimes used for all northern downtown Osaka, the district itself is located just south of Osaka Station. After your tour, relax in a cozy café or tea parlor in the hip nearby area of Nakazakicho.
