Umeda 梅田 Subterranean shopping

Umeda is a busy commercial district in Osaka.
If you see crowds, it is a good sign that the shopping and food are great.

Umeda train station is surrounded by shops and restaurants. One could literally spend the whole day or a couple of days walking from North to South, East to West. But of course, there are better things to do and so much sightseeing to cover within our few days' stay.

Hanyku, the anchor tenant is the largest departmental store in the area. There are six levels of retail shopping showcasing good quality Japanese and imported goods.

Fast food outlets and cafes usually located at the basement are brimming with activities especially when there is a promotion event.

Full serviced restaurants are most likely to be on top floor of the a departmental store in the shopping centre.


 
Umeda sky building with a bridge adjoining two towers is an amazing architectural and engineering achievement.
