What other travelers are saying about Shinsaibashi Suji Shopping Street
Very vibrant and busy!
It could be overwhelming for some but just take it easy. For those looking to buy preloved items try to avoid the main street. Walk a bit towards the outer lane, huge price difference..
My oh my was this place crowded! I expected a lot of people but not this much😂. Somehow, I still managed to maneuver my way out of the crowds for some peace. I will confirm it will be less crowded in the morning as people only come by at night to see the giant glowing signs as well as for late night shopping and dinner. I still loved the atmosphere of this place.
This is a MUST GO place in Osaka. We walked this shopping street for more than four times already. And each time, will end up with more things to buy. A happy partner after this trip, of course.
This is the most famous shopping street in Japan, so many different shops and restaurants along this shopping street. The street is so long , at least there are 6 sections. You can find many cute and interesting things there. You can also find very good deal stuff too ! If I have time, I can stay here for the whole day. .
Osaka's bonkers and crazy-long shopping street, where if you can name it, you can get it, tax free if you qualify. The covered north to south street can be explored in a few hours but if you want to do the department stores and the nearby Dōtonbori too, it might be a full day with meals.
As you might expect, the arcade gets ridiculously busy, especially in the evenings, but it's safe and not too unpleasant. Be careful when crossing the streets as cyclists and cars can traverse using these thoroughfares. Most shops are open until 8pm or 10pm.
