Nakazakichō

中崎町

Kita, Osaka · 大阪

A pocket of narrow lanes and wooden houses that survived the war, now occupied by small cafés, second-hand clothing rooms and single-person galleries.

Why it’s worth it

It is directly behind Umeda and almost nobody visiting Osaka goes. Most cafés seat under twelve people, so pick one, sit down, and stop optimising.
