American Village

This is the place to be for second-hand finds and a few hidden gems if you’re into the city-boy aesthetic! Basic second-hand stores sometimes carry very common clothes, which can get a bit overwhelming. But it’s also rewarding when you find that perfect piece. Some second-hand stores even offer unique in-house brands or items from small designers, which is amazing! The Second-hand stores with high end fashion are worth ever penny and second!

Mostly clothes shops, and very fashionable places, love it 😻 . Street are narrow and beware of incoming vehicles and alert your surrounding. They re plenty of restaurant and bar too. If you need to go toilet, there s big mall in the middle you can go . .

It’s a fun place to visit at least once when in Osaka. Plenty of thrift stores with American vintage clothes, and in general vintage American culture all around you in here. During evening times Japanese teenagers and people with less traditional views gather here. It’s fun to be around, and still feel safe though!

Found some really nice vintage clothes here! Some Ralph Lauren sweaters and quarter zips still looked new! 😍

A bit overcrowded for my taste but amazing thrift shops. Friendly locals, and tons of places to eat. A must visit if you are in Japan.

Very nice shopping street you can find amazing Japanese clothes store and the price is very nice.

Great place for thrifting or spending an afternoon. A very hip area, that I’m slowly getting too old for but it has a very enjoyable creative atmosphere and loads of good live houses in the evening to keep yourself entertained and connect with local artists. In recent years it’s become a bit harder to maneuver around the confused tourists that are often blocking the street but the area thankfully hasn’t reached critical mass yet.

If you are in Osaka and want to check out a different side of Osaka, I highly recommend swinging by here. You will find a different sense of fashion, culture, and a lot of friendly people.
