Where to Eat, Stay, Play in Osaka, the In-Your-Face Cousin of Tokyo
"A trendy area in the Minami district, filled with cafés, vintage shops, and boutiques offering unique designs that blend traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern style."
"Stretching 800 meters, Orange street is often dubbed the “vogue” street of Osaka. Along the street, you’ll find a number of boutiques, interior goods shops and even cafés."
Mixed experience. Street was quite a bit emptier than expected in the afternoon, and there were fewer stores than I'd have thought from reviews.
The store selection is a large variety and not really limited to fashion. Did come across a very fun thrift store, but otherwise, nothing too interesting for someone not living in Japan.

The street is lined with many different types of shops. You can find bicycles, vintage bags and clothes, secondhand stuff, beautiful carpets, hat shop, concept shoes and more. One of the streets you must visit when in Osaka.

It is nice as there are independent shops and cafe but it feels it lacks a bit of charm. Maybe they should do as they do in Tokyo on Sunday and close it to cars in certain days/times so walking around becomes more pleasant?

Lots of fashion brands here. Bathing ape, Aape, Champion, Supreme, Adidas are able to find here. Most of them don’t locate at the Main Street, but the other streets.
Lots of cafe but they close very early at around 7-8pm.
Some 2nd hand shops that are good to explore too.
Some local stores have very nice clothes and promotions going on.

Very interesting trendy shopping street carrying top notch world street wear brands. Supreme, Noah, Union, Master-piece & Carry On to name a few. Just on outskirt of main Namba area. If you're into hype beast culture this is the place for you.

Walked into Orange Street to get something and the area has change quite a fair bit from the last time we visited Osaka. More lively with many more cafes and boutique shops. But still having that nice chill indie vibes. Just off the touristy crowded scenes of the Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi areas that is next to it.
