Experience a shopper’s paradise and symbol of downtown Osaka as you explore the bustling arcade where brightly colored storefronts display the latest fashion trends.

The malls, art museums and temple shrines both above and below ground level combine to keep you and your family entertained for days. 

Tokyo’s historic “Candy Store Alley” is a great place to find some bargains and sample typically Japanese spices, seafood and dried foods.

Named after a silver-coin mint, this district has a long association with affluence. Today it’s where you’ll find some of Japan’s most upmarket labels, restaurants and galleries.

Step from Tokyo’s busiest train station into streets filled with endless shopping and dining options and the largest concentration of “love hotels” in the city.
