What the guides say about Namba Parks
Namba is the pick for a first trip. Dotonbori's canal strip is a short walk, and the covered streets and arcades of Minami sit around it. Dotonbori Imai Honten has been serving udon since 1946, and Okonomiyaki Mizuno has run for more than 70 years. Namba Parks and Takashimaya Osaka are over the station when it rains.

Around Namba
Curry, pork buns and a comedy theatre around the big station
Namba is the transport hub of Osaka's Minami side, and most of the area's sights sit within a few minutes of its exits. Hozenji Yokocho, a stone alley about 80 metres long, runs beside a temple with a moss-covered statue that people splash with water. The kitchen-tool street, the comedy theatre and a rooftop garden are all close by.
Namba has 16 places on the Roam Osaka map: 3 restaurants, 2 shrines and temples, 2 shops, 2 bars, 2 cafes, 2 museums, 1 neighbourhood, 1 landmark and 1 park or garden. Read the Namba guide.
