Right next to Umeda, yet Nakazakicho retains its old nagaya (row houses) intact, having escaped the war. The most analog alley stroll in Osaka, with distinctive cafes and antique-and-sundry shops renovated from old wooden houses hidden like a maze.

    Nakazakicho Alleys (Nagaya Streets)中崎町

    Nakazakicho · Alley · 30 min stay

    One stop from Umeda yet a neighborhood where old wooden nagaya remain, having escaped the air raids. Renovated cafes, galleries, and sundry shops hide in every narrow alley, so wandering without a map is the right answer. The heart of Osaka's 'back-alley sensibility.'

    A popular cafe representing Nakazakicho. A cozy space renovated from an old house, with a complex sensibility selling sundries too. The thick pancakes and pudding are specialties that capture the neighborhood mood at once.

    green pepe (Antiques)green pepe

    Nakazakicho · Select shop · 35 min stay

    A treasure-trove-like shop packed with Showa retro goods and 1960s–70s furniture and small items. The fun of slowly digging through old tableware, lighting, and trinkets is great. A standard-bearer of Nakazakicho goods digging.
