EST is a shopping district that stretches from east to west under the elevated tracks on the east side of JR Osaka Station and targets young women. Its main target audience is women in their late teens to early twenties, but it can also be enjoyed by sophisticated adult women. The concept is "a town full of dreams and excitement," and the district has adopted a glass exterior and increased the number of entrances to create easy-to-navigate corridors. There are also stores that combine cafes and shops, and Japanese restaurants that have an atmosphere that blends the atmosphere of a Kyoto townhouse with a modern atmosphere, so you can relax in between shopping. Along with HEP FIVE across the street, the area around EST is home to a concentration of commercial facilities.
