Namba Parks

The soft lighting, modern architecture, and the rooftop garden vibe created a calm escape right in the middle of busy Osaka. It felt cozy, romantic, yet still very family-friendly. Walking around with my wife and kids at night was super comfortable—clean paths, safe atmosphere, and plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the view. The contrast between the city lights and the greenery made the moment feel special and memorable. Perfect place for a slow evening stroll after dinner.

​I highly recommend visiting this place! The winter night lights are absolutely breathtaking. You can enjoy a variety of plants as you take a leisurely stroll uphill, and there are plenty of spots to sit and relax along the way. It is a perfect location for photos. If you get tired or cold, there are buildings and shops where you can take a break. It's the perfect blend of nature and comfort.

An amazing mall experience. You can easily spend half a day here and then another half a day just exploring all the food options. It’s decorated beautifully festive during the holidays. I left my phone temporarily in the bathroom here and a good citizen of this country immediately ran my phone over to the information center’s lost & found on the 2nd floor. When my phone was recovered, everything was still left inside the wallet. Truly good people in Japan!

Very nice mall, with a similar design to Roppongi hills. Lots of upmarket brands and shops located within. Lights are a sight to behold in the evening.

Japan is spoiled when it comes to its malls. Not only do they have an abundance of shops with everything you could ever need, but they also have a massive cinema and gorgeous rooftop outdoor space. If I lived in Japan, I would frequent Namba Parks. We spent a couple of hours checking out the restaurant options and luxury stores before our visit to the Sumo Hall. Next time, we hope to have a couple of drinks at the Rooftop Bar.

Its a great "mall" inside and a lot of good shops, selling really nice stuff, spread over a large space. A lot of the shops were outside of our budget unfortunately. The garden areas are lush to sit and relax in. Its also not crowded at all, which was perfect.

There's a lot of places to look at here. Then the design of the mall is beautiful. There is also a sumo hall on the top floor which I didn't expect.

Huge shopping mall with sumo wrestling located at the very top floor. (Prebook your tickets for sumo atleast 2 weeks prior)

Namba Park is a large public park right on top of Nankai Station in Osaka Metro. The park grounds was once originally a baseball stadium, which then turned into an urban oasis used for the people of Osaka and visitors alike. At one end of the park is a brand new Cinema, to another end is a residential tower, multi levels of park space, also connected to retail shopping complex and linked to Nankai JR Station. Today, Namba Park is also known for being very eco-friendly as it recycles water from nearby restaurants irrigated for its mini ponds, shrubs and plants. Additionally, Namba Park has an Amphitheater set up for outdoor concert performances and special events attracting large numbers of parties.

The main reason we went here was to find an anime Cafe. But since gathering the information and traveling to Osaka within one month it was closed down. But one thing stood out was the lovely architecture. There were no right angles. The entire building was curved. It was quite lovely. They did have awesome clothing shops too more on the upscale end. I recommend going here when you have some time to walk around. Just don't get lost because the curve building is not in a circle so you might have to backtrack if you go the wrong way.

An 9 -story shopping mall located at the south of Osaka, Nanba. My favorite part of the mall is the top area where you can enjoy the garden and sometimes watch events for free. The mall also has it's own cinema, restaurants and of course shopping area. It's a great place to window shop or enjoy a day with friends and family.

If you're into Japanese styles and need a wardrobe refresh, this is a mall worth checking out. There are levels and levels, so if you're really into shopping I recommend spending half a day. I was a fan of the "T-Terrace" section, which had a group of shops with styles that I felt appealed to millennials. I especially loved a shop called "Design Tshirts Store graniph". It is spelled out exactly like that. If you're into fun graphic tees, it's the store for you. I bought a shirt that has a sushi train, and each sushi piece has a cute face on it. Seriously. I also enjoyed looking at the toy coin vending machines on the 5th floor. I ended up buying a figurine of a cat dressed up as sushi for 300 yen. You just can't make this shit up. There are lots of restaurants on the upper levels, and retail stores ranging from furniture to clothing to sporting goods. As good as it gets!

Beautiful Festival of Lights for the Christmas holidays! Since Japanese culture doesn't really celebrate Christmas, this is a great tribute to the changing times in the Japanese culture.

It's a large shopping centre with a gorgeous view up at the top. There are multiple levels of terraces and open scenery, which is phenomenal when the weather's nice. There's also a restaurant up top with gorgeous views, but otherwise, the general open seating area will suffice just fine. Very clean and organized space and sometimes there are different food fairs or stalls on the upper floor outdoor areas (similar to a western style market).

This is a relatively new shopping center in downtown Osaka/Namba area adjacent to Namba station on the Nankai Line. It's very American style but an out door shopping mall with many levels. During the winter/holiday season there are beautiful illuminations there which I highly recommend! Also it's close to Takashimaya.

A huge shopping mall , but not the largest of Osaka ! Not like the shopping centers in which we are accustomed in Italy : airy , not at all overwhelming , full of a lot of things useful or interesting . Like all Japanese shopping centers , there is an entire floor dedicated to the catering ! So the whole story , because we talk about various buildings !! Definitely a place to make a detour when going from Osaka ! --------------------------------------------------- Un enorme centro commerciale, ma non il più grande di Osaka! Non come i centri commerciali a cui siamo abituati in Italia: arioso, per niente opprimente, pieno di un sacco di cose utili o interessanti. Come tutti i centri commerciali giapponesi, c'è un intero piano dedicato alla ristorazione! Quindi degli interi piani, perchè si parla di varie palazzine!! Decisamente un posto in cui fare una capatina quando si passa da Osaka!

I wanted to check out Namba Parks, which is known for its rooftop garden topping about 8 floors of shopping. Walking through this building, I have to say it is quite unimpressive shopping wise. The clothes seem more suitable for older people with a certain style. There are a good number of restaurants as well offering many different styles of cuisines as well as quite a few number of buffets, which isn't that common. I do think a lot of the food is overpriced, but that's to be expected in a shopping mall I guess. On to the most important part: the park! Well, you can reach the rooftop park on the 8th floor and there's even a 9th floor with a garden. Aside from the view of the metropolitan area, I'd say this was a little over hyped. While there are water gardens and many plants, it just wasn't as impressive as everyone made it out to be. Yes, this would be a nice place to take a nap or just enjoy your lunch at during your break. Is it worth going out of your way for? No. But if you're in the area, it doesn't hurt to check it out.

A large-scale complex. In it restaurants, theaters, cafes, boutiques, and other shops gather. In Namba there is only one department store, Takashimaya unlike Umeda or Osaka. If you hesitate to buy something in a department store and you are particular about fashion, you had better come to this complex. I usually buy my clothes in the department store because it provides various size of the clothes. I always look for a lunch place. When I go out alone, I usually have a lunch box. I search for an oasis and eat the lunch box even in a cozy city. In Namba this complex is the best place to have a lunch box. On the top floor there is a large garden. I enjoyed eating lunch surrounded by fresh greenery. But it was a very windy day. So my sheet and chopsticks were almost blown by strong wind. Be careful to eat something when it is a windy day!!

I had a great time wandering Namba Parks and eating delicious food! It was very difficult to choose, but I had a very nice date with my boyfriend. The staff of each store were very kind and understood our poor Japanese! The smoking room was also a nice place to stop by and relax away from the hustle and bustle. I really want to go back and try more places to eat and shop at! I do wish the clothing was a little cheaper, but it's great style and quality so I understand. I was incredibly surprised to see a Lush store! I immediately bought some face scrub and lip balm to use while I'm here. Wonderful and amazing; definitely trying the chocolate brownie parfait next time!

Namba Parks is a very large, upscale mall with lots of designer and name brand stores. It looks nice and all, but a mall is a just a mall at the end of the day. Most of these name brand stores you can find in your own country.

Big shopping mall with a lot of high end stores. ..I would say a must stop, only because it's in Cool Japan.. lol. So, if you in Japan, visit Namba Parks. They also have a Toys R Us store on the bottom floor with neat Japanese toy you don't see in Hawaii. ....

Our hotel was next to the Namba Station which was very convenient, Adjacent to the Namba Rail Station is Namba Parks which basically are a large number of department stores, shops and restaurants. You can continue to walk through the Namba Station and reach Domibori District which is another shopping district with both high end stores as well as local stores and restaurants. Great site to people watch. Very crowded especially on the weekends.
