Whity Umeda
An enormous underground shopping district of “Kita” Osaka that is full of various businesses. There about 180 stores that line up this shopping district of mostly restaurants, but also shops that handle clothing, miscellaneous goods, and other various services.
Located within the enormous “Kita” Osaka terminal where the JR, Hanshin Electric Railway, Hankyu Electric Railway and the Osaka Metro are concentrated, this underground shopping district attracts almost 300,000 passers-by everyday. Located on the western side close to the Hanshin and Hankyu department stores are the “mikke” and “FARURU” stores, both of which offers a collection of fashion and miscellaneous goods and a gateway to the Whity Umeda. To the north is the “Puchishan” which is a collection of stores that offer cosmetics, miscellaneous goods and services, and to the east is a concentration of restaurants and grocery stores. If you go further back even deeper you will come across the recently opened “NOMOKA” bar district. The “Izumi-no-Hiroba” is a popular meet-up spot that while the name stays the same, it lights up into the “WaterTree” at certain seasons and times for people who gather in the plaza to enjoy.
